Once is lovely and fun and totally worth seeing. Plus, go see Lars and the Real Girl when it comes near you.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hey. New board.
I loved Once more than anything I've seen since Pan's Labyrinth and maybe more than that, but it might be kind of hard to find. I saw it at a tiny second-run indie theater in Manhattan a couple of weeks ago, it it was one of only two NYC theaters still showing it. Now it's the only NYC theater still showing it. So unless you live in a town with as much filmage as here, it may be gone.
If not, though, run don't walk. SO good.

I'm looking forward to getting Once and Paris, Je T'aime on DVD when they're released.

I was waiting for Death at a Funeral to come out on DVD, since I thought it missed us, but it seems it's being release in Canada in NovemberI saw Death at a Funeral a month ago (or so). If it's coming there in Nov. it's hilarious. Go see it. The actors are great. It's a well done ensemble comedy that hits almost every type of humor (low-brow, and high-brow... not so much the uni-brow). Great stuff indeed

Take this with a grain of salt, considering the source, but Ain't It Cool News is reporting that Karl Urban will be Bones McCoy in the new Star Trek film.
Gah. ::drool::
I hope that's true.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I had to image-google Karl Urban to remember who that is.
Funny, but in the first page of image results, there's one from a certain wetmen.provocateuse.com site.... [link]

I wonder whose site that is...? :-)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Karl Urban looks good wet. I can definitely see him as McCoy, more than I see Kirk in that other guy. I wonder if they'll throw in, "Dammit Jim! I'm a med student not a viking!"

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
Except that Karl Urban is so a viking.
Or maybe that's just in my head.

They could, you know, travel to a planet that's ruled by Vikings. Then Karl Urban (who is a Viking doctor) fills out a Starfleet application....
