This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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.

Hey. New board.

It was definitely very good. And painful. And good.

The UFO was the nerdy kid's psychological escape, right? The thing that happened in his brain instead of the molestation that actually happened. I don't remember for certain, but I thought when he faced what actually happened, the UFO story went away.

But maybe I'm totally disremembering. Because I was too busy with the painful.

On the other hand, Eternal Sunshine came out in 2004, and so thoroughly overshadowed all other movies of that year that I can't agree with your "best movie" statement. Plus, The Incredibles and Before Sunset. And Maria Full of Grace. Actually, that was a damned good year, despite Million Dollar Who-cares winning the Oscar.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I could buy the UFO being a figment of the kids imagination if it weren't for the fact that the mom and sister also saw it and there was nothing to suggest that it was a dream. Just a cheap trick on the director's part, is my guess.

I thought Eternal Sunshine was only okay, didn't care for The Incredibles, and didn't see Before Sunset or Maria Full of Grace. I'd like to see Maria Full of Grace.

Hey. New board.

Based on what I can recall of your movie tastes over the past, I imagine you would really like Maria. It's... very good. And also painful.

Before Sunset is awesome. I may even like it slightly more than Before Sunrise. But I waffle there.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Eternal Sunshine works on so many levels, and personally it meant a thing to me. Plus, Kate? Can act. And is very pretty.

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

I love Eternal Sunshine. Saw it twice in the theatre, which is rare for me.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I was actually tempted to say Clementine wore something fuzzy and I wanted to touch her. But I didn't.

Before Sunset is awesome. I may even like it slightly more than Before Sunrise.

Since I hated Before Sunrise, I'll have to agree with you there. Plus, Paris!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Before Sunset seemed kind of pointless and meandering to me. I much preferred the brief reunion with those two characters in Waking Life.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I just saw that Mysterious Skin is in my Netflix queue. I can't decide whether or not to delete it.
