I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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.

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

August Rush

The only commercial I saw for that made my teeth hurt. Which is odd, because I thought saccharine didn't promote tooth decay.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Maybe it was a stunt booty.

I'm pretty sure you see it attached to her face (ummm... via her torso... not directly adjacent).

Was this the short attached to some prints of DARJEERLING LIMITED (that I can't recall the name of - HOTEL Something).

I would hope it wasn't MR. MARJORIUM'S WONDER EMPORIOUM.

Yep. It's actually referenced at least twice during DL.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I saw it, Tommyrot--and totally agree with your very astute observations. A really powerful film, I thought.

I knew that. It's just that Kendall didn't advertise they were going to have the short, so I saw it at Boston Common theater with a friend because it was a more convenient location (and comfier seating).

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

"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'm tempted to change the names in a transcript of Gigli and send it in just to see how it would rank against the competition.

Except for the fear that it might actually get made again, that is.

OMG, those are some lousy premises.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

The comments section is particularly funny, like the guy who got knocked out of a screenwriting competition because of a script for one of those premises.

New Cloverfield trailer: [link]

Looks like that is the name of the film now, in the UK at least.

I suspect it's a personal thing, but handheld disaster movie? BRING IT ON.
