Oh, I'm going. Prolly tomorrow.

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
ignores all the talk from people who have or don't need babysitters
I finally watched the 1-18-08 trailer. Dude. Nice homage to some of the 9/11 footage. I'm sensing a Cthulhian aspect, and don't know if I can live in a world wher Cthulhu Mythos movies get budgets.
Drew Goddard wrote? Huh.

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

Where do you get that from in the trailer, Raq?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I just watched Three Women for the first time today. I'm pretty sure I liked it a lot, but I will give a shiny penny to the person who can tell me what the hell was going on.

Robert Altman had a dream and decided to film it. He let some nice people improvise his ideas. Easy peasy.
Should I add he was smoking at least as much pot as Paul McCartney at the time?
I know I should add that I love Three Women too. But it's as close to improvisational jazz as filmmaking gets (other Altman movies fit this category as well, but many of them just don't work).

I felt kinda the same way about The Third Man I kept wondering when Nick and Nora and their little dog would show up. Orson Welles was hot in a scampy sort of way.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I really liked the new HP movie. I still think I prefer the 3rd movie, but this move really moved. They cut out so much and I was irritated a bit that they cut down the beginning so much: The Howler to Aunt Petunia - are they going to leave ALL of that to the 6th movie? Man, that scene of Dumbledore with Petunia will take ages. And I was looking forward to the bunches of owls that arrive, but that's not to be either.
I hated the look of the dementors. Bad form. And I thought it was a bad move that they didn't have Umbridge's admission at the end.
FWIW, the other weak point: the look of Hagrid's brother. That CGI was *bad*.
Minor quibbles really. I very much enjoyed the film and I loved Luna.

This dream...would it be one he had after falling asleep watching Persona while high? 'Cause that would explain a LOT.
You gotta love a filmmaker who can make 2 hours of WTF so completely engaging. I mean, 90% of the movie is slow zooms into Sissy Spacek looking insane and/or bored. And yet, it's so good!
