Super Troopers is HILARIOUS. It was totally not what I was expecting.
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.
"Greetings, Starfighter!" Why don't I have either of those on dvd?
The Last Starfighter was one of the first DVDs I ever bought. I love that movie!
"Great. I'm a million miles away from home, and a gung-ho iguana tells me to relax!!"
Oh, and I own both the DVD and the CD for Victor/Victoria. Lesley-Anne Warren is a great dumb blonde, in the tradition of great dumb blondes such as Jean Hagen in Singin' in the Rain and Jean Harlow in Dinner at Eight.
"What are you...what the...WAIT! Lock the door." [pause in the action] "You two-timing son of a bitch! He's a WOMAN!!"
"There's nothing worse than an old queen with a head cold."
I know there were other people in those movies (Garner! Andrews! Karras! Rhys-Davies! O'Herlihy!), and yes, it was one of Warren's best-ever roles. But the Preston just calls me.
The Last Starfighter was the first movie I ever saw in a packed theatre. My sister and I had to sit in the front row almost all the way to the left. I still get a crick in my neck thinking about it. And it was Totally Awesome!!!
Apparently they're making a movie version of the classic British series The Persuaders. IMDB has George Clooney and Hugh Grant rumoured to be playing Danny Wilde and Lord Brett Sinclair.
I'm thinking Matt Damon and Christian Bale as Danny and Lord Brett.
yahoo was reporting this morning that Brad Pitt pulled out the american remake of State of Play. no word yet on why...
I heard he wasn't happy with the script.
I love having a verbose obsessive on my flist.
Batman prestuff:
- The Gotham Times
- The Ha Ha Ha Times
- We Are The Answer
- Gotham National Bank
- Remembering Gina
- Gotham PD
State of Play is in development hell due to the script I believe. (Something to do with a lack of writers to fix it..)
Bladerunner: The Final Final Final Yes Really Cut is on at my local cinema today. Big screen, digital projection.
Oh I loved the Batman stuff.
