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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

I am all for The Blair Godzilla Project. Looks cool and freaky.

Right there with you, P-C. Why do I keep forgetting that Drew Goddard wrote it?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
It kinda reminds me of some of the home video style footage they used in Signs which were imo the best parts of that movie.

Yeah. Signs - in the basement. With the torch. Torch gets dropped on floor. Can't see shit. Cinema bliss.
