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.

move out and draw fire

That bugged me too, Jars, because how did Jackman know that this was the time Bale got back there?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I thought the shouting and hacking of the tank was loud enough to be heard throughout the theater. So as soon as the banging was heard, he knew to disappear "forever."

Always Anti-fascist!

I just watched "Crash". All I can say is, the acclaim it got is proof that coke has not disappeared from Hollywood. They should have picked one of those stories and told it for real instead of the whole "Short Cuts" thing. Although I liked "Short Cuts".

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

Just started watching Hot Fuzz. Holy crap, this has everybody!

That is showing up in my mailbox tomorrow...cannot wait

I liked The Departed a whole lot--up until the end, where I thought it got needlessly twisty.
I dunno I rode with it the whole way. Though for most movies I'd say the very ending was unneccessary, but for The Departed it was the frosting on a fantastic cake. I've not seen CoM yet and can't compare the two.

I shudder to think what Dick Cheney could do with an army of obedient zombie soldiers. Even somewhat-disobedient ones.

The obedient would eat the disobedient. I would be faster than the other zombies or eaten. It depends on the zombie rules in that situation/world. Running Zombies? In the clear. No running? Eaten.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

So I just re-read The Mist, and I now know that I cannot go see the movie. How had I forgotten that there are giant spiders in this story?! Lots of them, even. Oh well.

So...consensus here, is the original Wicker Man worth watching??

Oh yes, it's a cult classic.

Pagan?

That's kind of why it's known. It was a rare expression of pagan beliefs in the seventies. But it's also scary/creepy. It's not laughable like the recent one.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

Other people's beliefs are usually pretty interesting. Nicholas Cage's movie roles however...
