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.
I'm watching an interesting documentary about Aisan men in American movies called Slanted Screen. It's on PBS.
Awwwww. Bruce Campbell turned down Bubba Nosferatu. ::pout::
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.
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.

Oh! I loved that movie!!!
Jason Bourne is a cyborg?
I hope he doesn't get rusty down there.
If Richard Chamberlain is playing him, I'd say wood rot is the likelier risk.
