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.

So! ... um, has anyone seen the new Elizabeth movie yet? Is it as cheesetastic as I hope?

I did Jilli!
Yes! Cheesetastic! Agreeable enough though. After, L and I counted the three or four things that were historically accurate and decided we'd make a movie with the same basic formula.
George Washington: The Revolution
The only things we'll get right are that the US won, we were fighting Britan, George III was king and that's it. Everything else will be pure embelishment.

Like, the US won the Revolutionary war because Washington bested George III in a mano a mano fist fight.

Also, the continental congress were writing him to get his advice on forming the new government, which he dubbed democracy, a brand new form in which all men are created equal.

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

Awesome! What sort of embellishments?
- Washingtong's secret allies: The Klingons!
- Chemical warefare! Minutmen spike the Redcoats' water with LSD!
- Patrick Henry singlehandedly destroys the British Zeppelin factory!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Also, Washington will be played by Colin Firth, and will have several hundred costume changes, each more gaudy-yet-flattering than the last.
