Buffistas

I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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.

Hey. New board.

Finally saw Across the Universe yesterday. I'm pretty sure I liked it. Parts of it didn't work exactly, and I did some confused blinking at certain plot points, but I liked the feel and the random Scenes of the Trippy. Also, it turns out I haven't heard an awful lot of Beatles songs.

Evan Rachel Wood is still a good actress, though she didn't get to showcase her awesomeness as much in this as in some of her previous films. The dude who played her British boy was also pretty great, with some of the same charm that Ewan brought to Moulin Rouge.

Now tagless for your comfort.

All the lost footage has been found and is included in the new director's cut of Blade Runner. Ridley Scott answers The Question in no uncertain terms in this NYT article.

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

I always thought the film works better thematically if the opposite were true.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I thought the film works best if the question is never answered. The distinction becomes meaningless as sufficiently-advanced technology becomes indistinguishable from magic, you know?

Also, Ridley Scott is approaching Lucasfilm levels of tinkering. Let's hope no cute furry beasts show up in the new version.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So this is, what, the eleven millionth version of Blade Runner on DVD now? What's next, just releasing the dailies as a 15-disc special edition?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

On a similar note, I hate Disney's "available for a limited time" bullshit. But I may have to break down and buy The Jungle Book when it comes out this week. I do love that movie.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The ambiguity works much better thematicaly, I agree.

Let's hope it never reaches that point.

Can't say that I wouldn't like to see the new levels of digital restoration, I just don't know what more he can add. Unless it's ewoks.

RIP Miss Moneypenny.

move out and draw fire

He's going to take out the guns and replace them with walkie-talkies.

Unicorns have hair rather than fur, right?
