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.

People can mock it and be all ejamakated and enlightened and poo poo it and call it garbage and mock M. Night and be all meta about how he's making himself this huge character and stroking his ego. Poo on them.
Because they forgot that they were watching a story, a beautiful sweet little story with these lovely little characters and yet another gorgeous score from James Newton Howard. Sure, perhaps the language was clunky and silly, but the characters are wonderful and the feeling of family and community is once again pervasive throughout, and M. Night portrays the most endearing brother (the brother/sister relationship was just so authentic and sweet) and I think he's getting more comfortable with the acting thing (and he's cute to boot).
Even if everything else in the movie was horrid, if they had only the brother/sister relationship and kept that last scene from the pool where all the music and sound goes quiet... (I get chills everytime, it's so perfect), I'd still want to own this movie.
If I'm a little passionate about how this movie doesn't suck, it's because there was so much hatred and mockery tossed at it before, during and after it's release. Which is so doesn't deserve.
And I hope all those mean people get eaten by Scrunts.

Viggo Mortensen may not be starring in the movie adapation of The Road after all: Guy Pearce might take the lead role.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The comments below that Road story indicate that Viggo is still playing the lead and Guy is playing a more minor character that appears towards the end of the story.

Yes, you do. It's beautifully written.

Yes, you do. It's beautifully written.
Seriously. And not quite as bleak as it might seem at first.
hmmm Viggo seemed so perfect to me as the lead but I think Guy Pearce could work as well.

Ridley Scott directed A Good Year? Huh. It was beautifully shot. And it did have a fair amount of crap floating in the air. And Russell Crowe. Guess I should have known.
Beowulf next week! In 3-D !!!!
