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.

Huh. Anthony Minghella is directing a film adaptation of "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency."
Precious Ramotswe has no blue steel pistol, just two desks, two chairs, a telephone and an old typewriter. Her tiny white van is incapable of high-speed chases and fiery stunts. Then there is Mma Ramotswe herself. (Mma is a local honorific.) Film sleuths usually exude chiseled sexiness and a noir persona. But as Mr. McCall Smith puts it, Precious Ramotswe is “the fat lady detective”: rounded, not chiseled; softhearted, not dark.
Would anyone watch a film about a “traditionally built” (as she puts it) shamus whose main preoccupation is contemplating her cases under an acacia tree?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
A Mighty Heart worked for me. Angela can act, also.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
We watched the documentary Fuck the other day. I'd have given it five stars if I didn't feel they had abused Miss Manners slightly. It was funny but I still don't think it's OK.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just bought The Forbidden Zone
Woo hoo!
I saw a midnight screening a few years back & Richard Elfman was there doing a Q&A and it was Danny's birthday and we (okay, Richard) called him from the theatre and shouted Happy Birthday at him and my fangirl heart nearly gave out from oversqueeage.

The director of Die Hard has been sentenced to four months in prison.
A federal judge on Monday sentenced John McTiernan, the director of action movies including “Die Hard” and “Predator,” to four months in prison for lying to an F.B.I. agent about hiring the private investigator Anthony Pellicano to wiretap the producer of one of his films.
Mr. McTiernan, wearing brown cowboy boots and a blue blazer, did not speak when given the chance by the judge. His new lawyers argued that on the night he received the call from the F.B.I. agent, he was jet-lagged from a location-scouting trip to Thailand, had contracted typhoid and had stopped taking his antidepressant medication.
He was on the moon! With Steve!

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