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.
I wonder what would happen if Frank Miller and David Mamet collaborated on a movie.
Testosterone poisoning at the very least. I also suspect a certain amount of succumbing to a cranial-rectal inversion.
And a whole lotta swearing.

Batman would cripple the Mutant leader and then tell him to go to lunch.

It's all good, Hec. People have differing taste. I must say though that letting a cat pee on your bed and then saying that you like the smell and feeding the vermin living in your attic cross the eccentric line for me.
Is the Simpsons movie out on DVD?
My neighborhood Blockbuster has a big sign up (the kind where one places letters on a board) above their door that says, "SPIDER PIG."
It's coming out right around now. Heh.
I've always thought of The Hobbit as Lord of the Rings for kids.
That's because that's essentially what it is. The Hobbit was written more for kids--including being reviewed by the 10 year old son of its eventual publisher. TLotR was published as a "sequel" to The Hobbit, it was really the result of the larger epic tale that was started well before the words "in a hole in the ground lived a hobbit."

Got it from Netflix yesterday and watched it last night.
A skeptic:
Ross Douthat says exactly what needed saying about Peter Jackson's upcoming The Hobbit and its planned sequel/prequel-to-Lord of the Rings::
...
It's just that I suspect that opening the doors to "prequels" open the door to exploitation and commercialization, and a downward spiral that has the Lord of the Rings: The Phantom Menace and Jar Jar Balrog at the bottom of it. Better, I think, for Jackson to make The Hobbit, and then quit while he's – and we’re – ahead.
