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.

Compassionately intolerant

Yes on both those counts.

After all the 'it's a masterpiece!' hype, I could not believe how incredibly boring it was. Stultifying doesn't even cover it. And the butter thing would not have been half as scarringly gross if there had been even the slightest chemistry in that relationship.

The entire thing gave me a brain cramp...primarily I think...because I was looking for 'there' that was nowhere.

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

But you have to take into account the times in which it was made. Back then, there were really only limited, stereotypical uses of butter.

True. So, from this moment forward, I will consider my horizons expanded. Butter knows no bounds.

Still. Hated that movie!

PS: it ruined lavender (the herb) for me too. Yeesh.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Watched The Holiday.

Surprisingly sweet and rather good (and Jude Law is hot, which is weird for me to say except that I saw Alfie, in which he was decidedly not hot) (and Jack Black is surprisingly non-Jack-Blackish for the most part, which is always nice)

I liked it too. Much less "zany" than the trailers.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

And Eli Wallach was such a cutie head.

Wasn't he?!

And totally so much less and so much more than the trailers made it out to be, erikaj.

Yes. I could watch this movie repeatedly.

I really related to Iris. But I'm not sure that screwball comedy is gonna turn my life around, as I don't look like Kate.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

I'm currently watching Dracula 3000 starring Casper Van Dien and Coolio
I'll take crap for this but where I found Daredevil lacking, I did like the directors cut much better (in a it's a fluffy superhero movie type of way) One thing I really enjoyed in the director's cut was the added subplot Coolio being defended by Foggy Nelson. Personally I think it added depth to Favereau's character. Coolio was pretty funny.
