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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I've neglected to mention that cineastes really should get the two recent volumes of Kenneth Anger's short films which have been released in the last year.

I'd seen the later stuff like "Scorpio Rising" but I hadn't seen his earliest experimental shorts. And it's truly revelatory. Aside from their formal daring and beauty and sexiness you just tick it off in your head: "Oh that's where Tim Burton got that. Oh, that's where Fassbinder got that. Aha! Scorsese, you scamp, you thief. You totally ripped that off."

Seminal (so to speak). But very cool and pure eye candy too.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Damn, that movie could go either way, from greatness to extreme suckiness.

"The effects are beyond belief. We called it 'car fu,' because it was like kung fu with the cars," Silver says. "We couldn't have made this movie until right now."

Someone's a Joe Bob fan.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Damn, that movie could go either way, from greatness to extreme suckiness.

Visually, the flick looks amazing. But I share Jon's view. OTOH, even if it sucks, it looks like it will suck in interesting ways, so it might still be worth seeing.

"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

Is Emile Hirsch wearing yellowface in this movie?

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

Juno: Really good.

Ellen Page: Tiny and adorable.

Ellen Page: Tiny and adorable.

Just watch out for that scalpel.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Is Emile Hirsch wearing yellowface in this movie?

I hope not. Or I'd have to go samurai on someone's ass. And I can, 'cause I'm a direct line samurai descendant.

Ellen Page: Tiny and adorable.

I sat behind her at a film festival screening of her new movie, The Tracey Fragments, and some high school girls came over to get her autograph and were all fawning and Ellen was super sweet with them
