You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh sweetie. I'm afraid I'm not the sharing type.

Mine mine mine!!

Hee.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Wait, all his scenes were cut from the movie? Aw, that sucks. Who did he play?

He was just a ghost in the chorus.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

He shouldn't have been a ghost, as there are no ghosts in Sweeney Todd (much like there is no crying in baseball).

I've seen the trailer. Huh. I...don't know about this. I guess we'll see.

Hey. New board.

So in the midst of one of the better dates in my memory, I managed to finally see Once last night.

I can say with surety that it's my favorite movie of this year, edging out Pan's Labyrinth (which I'm counting as a January release) because I'm a sucker for simple tales about real people. Not to mention music. And what music! It is glorious - emotional, lyrical, and simply wonderful.

It may be too late for most people to see this movie in the theater - it's only showing in one Manhattan theater right now - but if you can, you simply must. And if not, you need to see it on DVD at the first available opportunity. It's beautiful.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The trailer for Elizabeth - the Golden Age suggests this will be a Lord of the Rings sequel.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Heh. It looks even more laughably ridonk than the previous one.

Heh. It looks even more laughably ridonk than the previous one.

I think I'm on board with the ridonk and the ahistoricity because of the pomp and pageantry and hairdos and Cate spouting faux Shakespeare and Clive all roguish. And, of course, Elizabeth the First facing down the Balrog Spanish Armada.

Because books.

I loved the first one. Ahistorical and All Wrong, even. It was ... so pretty. And this one looks even prettier. Plus, what Hec said about Clive being roguish.

I just watched the Sweeney Todd trailer. I'm sort of astounded to realize I never saw the musical, even.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Stuff saw this weekend:

Lust, Caution. - really really good.

Into the Wild - really really good (but with less sex).

I loved the first one too. There was lots of neat framing.
