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.

Just keep in mind that she's the Viewing Audience. You know, the big demographic that movies are made for.
It helps explain Uwe Boll.

Punishingly Intricate
A lot of the time the studio tells us which trailers to program with their movies. Ferinstance Fox might position a 20th Century blockbuster trailer in front of a Fox Searchlight title.
Don't the trailers actually come attached to the films sometimes? I learned that at one point and then forgot and re-learned it when I complained about the trailer that was shown before Waitress . It was for that movie about the disturbed little kid who, the trailer implies, kills his family dog and tries to kill his infant sibling. It was incredibly graphic and disturbing and so very inappropriate in my mind considering the type of movie that Waitress is and the fact that its filmmaker was murdered.
Anyway, the movie theatre (independtly owned by a very responsive owner) couldn't do anything about what trailer was shown with the movie because the distributor sends them attached.

Sometimes trailers come attached and sometimes they come in the can. Usually they are shipped direct from the studio with a little note saying, "please program this trailer on "x" film." We almost always play the trailers that are attached but it is possible to remove them and put different ones on. Also, the studio sends out trailer checkers to watch the start of every film and make sure that the trailers that are shown are the ones that were agreed upon by the film buyer and the studio.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So I finally saw 300. It had some cool fight scenes! And then 90 minutes of other stuff.

Hey. New board.
I like the Across the Universe trailer. It is awesomely trippy. And I have an Evan Rachel Wood problem (in a good way) despite her disturbing personal life choices. I am sad to hear that the movie was thiefed from its director and I hope it does not suck.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Sentinel was filmed in my neighborhood!
I see that movie, and all I can think is, "that gateway to Hell is landmarked! You can't destroy it! You have to restore it to its original condition!"

Hey, me too! I actually saw that in the theater. The ending was way too "let's set up the sequel" (that never came), but I really like a lot of the movie.
