Oh, and in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince News, Jim Broadbent has been cast as Horace Slughorn. Which is kind of perfect. I think they might be running out of great British actors to cast in these films.

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.

Darn, I was holding out hope for Bob Hoskins. But Broadbent would be good, too, if a bit tall for the role.

I think it would have been ten times scarier if I'd have gotten to watch it unspoiled.
I was actually unspoiled for that aspect of it.
I knew I'd read good comments about it here, so I know I'm going against the grain, but, no, this movie didn't redeem the director for Dog Soldiers one bit. Cruising around the series of interconnected tubes to recall why I wanted to see it, I discovered a theory that Sara kills them all. The "It's all in her head" theory. While this would give meaning to the movie, it's implausible (because in the theory it's the discovery of Juno and whazzisface's relationship that sends Sara over the edge), but it does indicate an audience desire for meaning.
Reading your LJ, though, P-C, reconciled me to one aspect of it: I thought the message was that if you commit adultery you should be incapacitated and left to Death By CHUD. But the interpretation that Sara did a Bad Thing and thus had to be punished is better.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
that movie has ruined the word "citrus" for me.

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

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
The Descent is one of the best horror movies in recent years. I just posted about it earlier today, as it happens, on Whedonesque. [link]

Art Crawl!!!
Zoe Saldana cast as Uhura. . . is she the one that Captain Jack Sparrow steals the ship from in POTC1?

Yep. I can see her being Uhura easier than I can see (much as I love him) McAvoy as Scotty.
