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.

Punishingly Intricate

I'VE NEVER SEEN Charade ! What is wrong with me??? No Audrey Hepburn movies in film school. I have seen all of Cassavetes films though.

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

Charade is great! Totally made of win. I like how it doesn't seem to realize how funny it is.

Eddie Izzard to voice Reepicheep.

Hey. New board.

I love Roman Holiday.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Eddie Izzard being Reepicheep is ten levels of awesome.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

A more or less glowing review of Sweeney in the NYT:

If the underlying subtext of "creepy as fuck" = glowing.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Erika, I'm glad you said that. I also don't get Audrey Hepburn. I don't know why -- I just can't see what everyone else seems to see.

move out and draw fire

Am I the only person in Middle Earth wanting PJ to keep his mits off any other installments in the Tolkein stories?

sits in the lonely corner with Juliebird.

Weta? Sure? Richard Taylor? Ngila Dickson? Yes. Alan Lee? Of course. But I don't think Fran and Phillipa are very good writers, and I don't think any of them have an ear for Tolkein's language.

And what's he going to do with 12 actors under all the makeup and crap that prevented John Rhys-Davies from acting? Have them all belch and talk about hairy dwarven women for 4 hours? Can he make the elves sufficiently sinister?

I am meh about this news. It could be worse, yes, it could be much worse. But still.

However, Eddie Izzard as Reepicheep? OOOOOHHHH Yeah!!!

Given all the time that Bilbo and the dwarves spend w/o any other people around - I'll bet he'll try to find actors that are proportionally as tall to each other as Bilbo and the dwarves are and then there will be less of the other stuff to worry about.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Wait wait wait, I just remembered something from my looooong-ago reading of The Hobbit. I'm going to be really unhappy about the scenes in Mirkwood, aren't I? As in, watch from behind my hands if I open my eyes at all -unhappy, right?

Mirkwood is definitely not a Jilli-safe place.
