Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hopefully this Iron Man trailer works better for you than for me. I've tried two OSes and nothing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeeeeah, it was working fine, and then it just freezes right at the key moment.

It was very nice before that, though.

Hallam Foe is excellent.

I'm watching an interesting documentary about Aisan men in American movies called Slanted Screen. It's on PBS.

The inevitable Tron remake is upon us:

Commercial director Joseph Kosinski is in final negotiations to develop and direct Tron, the follow-up to Disney's 1982 movie. Sean Bailey is producing via Live Planet along with Steven Lisberger, who co-wrote and directed the original film. Lost scribes Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz are writing the script. Story details are being kept under wraps. The original movie was about a computer programmer thrust into a computer and forced to fight in games he helped create. It was the first movie to use computer-generated images instead of models and other optical effects in conjunction with live action. Kosinski is a former architect who worked with director David Fincher at commercial house Anonymous Content. Kosinski has directed award-winning spots for Nike, Apple, and Nintendo known for their use of computer technology that erased the lines between reality and CGI. (Hollywood Reporter)

I rented the orginal Bourne Identity, with Richard Chamberlain. Man, I only previewed the first five minutes, but I think some tequila and chasers and it'll be a fun evening:

When Bourne's shot off the ship in the beginning, he falls straight to the bottom of the ocean.

This is gonna be good.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

In the Chamberlain version, Jason Bourne is a cyborg?

Finally finished watching La Meglio gioventù ( The Best of Youth ) this weekend. Although long (it was originally a 6-hour miniseries on Italian TV), I highly recommended it. It follows an Italian family (primarily two brothers) from the 1960s to 2003. The drama really picks up in the second half, and throughout you gets loads of Italian history as a backdrop. Plus, pretty pretty people.
