I've just seen my favorite movie of '07..."The Lookout". Have any Buffistas seen it?
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm trying to imagine just how big the slash reaction is going to be to this new Trek.
This is me, with a side of "I wonder if the boys are going to wear as much eyeliner as in TOS".

No, not yet, erika. But I want to see it, 'cuz Joseph Gordon Levitt.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'd never even heard of it before, erika, but I just checked imdb and almost all the user comments (aside from the puzzlers like the person who notes that this completely unknown Levitt newcomer may get a career boost from his fine performance here, and the idiots who complain that scenes exploring his character and how he copes with trauma don't contain any action sequences or advance the plots) are raving about the excellent screenplay and stellar cast. That, plus your love, is definitely enough to move it onto my want list.

Oh, Sean, I like JGL, too. He's a good actor. And funny. And I totally believed he had a brain injury for two hours. Which is not something you could fool me about very easily, even if his was different than mine. Seen it. You know? JZ, where do they find these morons that only want to see shit blowing up and naked tit? Because I thought most things in the movie advanced the plot, but in a very delicate way that demands you not carry on three conversations and fold laundry while you watch it. By the end though, everything pays off. Have some patience, imdb people! Damn.

Damn, I saw a trailer for the lookout ages ago and thought it looked very awesome and intriguing. *adds to queue*

Can you tell I've got some issues with the ADD plot junkie filmgoer? And I'm even totally out of my Merchant-Ivory period. But something doesn't have to be non-stop thrill-a-rama to be worth it...because that was fuckin' "Domino", which was completely incomprehensible and cost me an hour of my life, but, to be fair, it never stopped moving.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I really liked that film a lot, Erika. Kind of an undiscovered gem.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Oh don't even get me started on the let's-take-a-great-real-life-bisexual-character-and-make-her-straight disaster that was Domino.
