Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

move out and draw fire

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.

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?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

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

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I could totally see Ewan McGregor as Scotty yelling that his engines canna take any more, though.

If I were Abrams and Lindelhof, I'd start getting Andy Serkis a voice coach for Dr. McCoy's Southern accent now.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I saw Death at a Funeral which I loved. but it was almost ruined by a woman with a very obnoxious laugh and habit of speaking to the screen.

She was too far away from me to say anything to her. Luckily, the movie was worth it.
