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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Man I never realized how often people say "the greater good" until I saw Hot Fuzz. Now I can't resist parroting it back.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
In the Bond books (and first few movies?) the bad guys were SMERSH. In the movies (or the later ones) they were SPECTRE.
And of course, KAOS were the baddies on Get Smart.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
SMERSH isn't fictional.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's because it's an acronym of Russian. It's less silly if you think of it as Death To Spies. [link]

Oh yeah, it doesn't sound silly in Russian. It's more like, "Schmairsch" And now Sean Connery is saying it in my head and I think I need to bump some Bond flicks to the top of my Netflix queue.

We should totally have a thread like that. Imagine the even more powerful trivia powerhouse we'd be if we pooled the new information.

Dunno. Still sounds silly to me, but I wouldn't have told any of them that to their face.

Art Crawl!!!
Speaking of spies, here is the trailer for the movie Wanted.
Was this one of the movies that was filming in Chicago this summer at the same time as the new Batman movie?
