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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'll take people's word for it that Keanu once had the ability to speak. I'll make a point to see River's Edge and Johny Mneumonic at some point.

You might wanna replace the latter with My Own Private Idaho or Parenthood instead. When I said something positive about Keanu's performance in Johnny Mnemonic I didn't mean to imply that the movie itself was watchable.

Though it is the one time Dolph Lundgren revealed he could act instead of just growl and hit people. It's a shame there just aren't as many crazy bionic street preacher roles as there used to be.

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

It's a shame there just aren't as many crazy bionic street preacher roles as there used to be.

Well, since Medicaid stopped paying for bionic repairs for crazy street preachers, they're just not as visible in society today.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I, too, find Canoe watchable, but I just accept that he's got a limited range that he should be more careful working around, but I understand he really does LOVE SF and comic books like unto a gigundous geek.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

GF and I watched Oldboy this weekend. What a twisted crazy movie! Great one.

Fucked. Up. Movie.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Oh, it totally is. I love that sort of thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My sister bought it when she came to visit last time, and kept watching it on my laptop in the living room. I had to yell at her to turn the screen so I couldn't see it, but when it came to the fight in the corridor I had to look because it's a thing of beauty. You know how there's a moment where the import of "one long take" becomes clear? I think that was hers, and it's a lovely one.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

You might wanna replace the latter with My Own Private Idaho or Parenthood instead.

In PARENTHOOD Keanu delivered, besides a decent supporting performance, one AWSOME speech I used to have memorized about how you need a license to drive, hunt, fish, etc., but any "butt-reaming asshole can be a father". I've given him huge points just for the delivery on that one scene (and he was no slouch in IDAHO or RIVER'S EDGE either).

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

but any "butt-reaming asshole can be a father".

Actually pretty sure that's not how it works.
