May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

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.

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

I didn't know Martha Plimpton was Keith Carradine's daughter

I didn't know that and I've partied with her. We used to have mutual friends in Chicago.

Well, if no one saw Blood Simple in an arthouse, anyway.

Blood Simple is HILARIOUS. How could it be bleak moviegoing experience?

Did anyone else think Beowulf was a comedy? I just read Roger Ebert's review.

Hey. New board.

I didn't know that and I've partied with her.

This would make my best friend SO jealous. She has a huge girl-theater-crush on the Plimpton. (Who, by the way, is excellent in Cymbeline but, in my opinion, somewhat miscast. She's gorgeous, but she's by no stretch of the imagination a 16-year-old, and I was close enough to the stage that the disconnect really killed my suspension of disbelief. Not that this is the theater thread. Move along.)

She's almost two years younger than me and I got carded buying cigarettes last week. (Don't worry. So far I've only smoked 2 of them.)

hip deep in pie

I found no country for old men plenty bleak. Of course I came home fro the movie to find that my power was out, so I opened my door fully expecting to be shot in the head with a compressor. Then I sat in the dark for a couple of hours, contemplating the nature of evil.

The whole time I was watching the movie, and afterwards, I couldn't help think of Tommy Lee Jones character compared to the sheriff in Fargo. Lots of paralells, both decent, small town cops who were good detectives, but TLJs character seemed totally shaken and defeated by his encounter with truly bad men, where FM character had her family and a basic faith in humanity to fall back on.

There are people her age, and older, who could pull it off on stage without distracting me. I wouldn't expect anybody much younger than her to play the role, actually: it's a tough one. But she very much looks her age. Not an insult, just truth.

Punishingly Intricate

This has been driving me crazy because I'm pretty sure we also have mutual friends or that I know somebody who worked with her but I cannot for the life of me remember who! And IMDB is not helping. stupid memory.

I saw Beowulf on Friday. Can anyone tell me why I found it so disappointing? Cause I seriously can't figure it out.

Art Crawl!!!

I saw Enchanted on Friday.

It was silly and uh, predictable.
