Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

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.

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

I know! Oh, Rachel McAdams.

Hey. New board.

Or maybe stylishness means more to other people than me.

I care very little about stylishness, and I still love Audrey, so I don't think that can be it. Unless perhaps we mean stylishness of manner - poise - rather than stylishness of dress.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

but more importantly (to me) he completely screwed up the single most important scene in the entire trilogy by thinking his dialog for the Eowyn Kills the Witch King moment was somehow better than Tolkien's.

What, you didn't like the whole "Get away from her, you bitch!" aspect of it? The whole Schwarzeneggerian ultra-cool "You know when I said I would kill you last? I LIED!!" of it? The Bruce Willis "Yippee Ki Yay, motherfucker" of it? The Samuel L. Jackson "This ain't no ham sandwich" of it?

What, you thought it didn't fit? What are you, a Communist?

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

Why 2008 will be an awesome year for movies.

He (I'm assuming the author is a guy) really stretches to make his point. The Day the Earth Stood Still, with Keanu? C'mon.

"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

Unless it's standing still to watch him do a striptease, I don't see that as one of the cinematic heights of the new year.

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

Maybe Keanu plays the soldier who fires his gun at the alien spaceship and then gets vaporized by Gort....

I like the rating mention in that NYT review of Sweeney Todd: ""Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). It’s not “Hairspray.”"

SciFi Wire article on AvP: [link] I like this quote:

"The thing we were trying to be careful of is we didn't want to have aliens dancing in front of McDonald's and stuff," Strause said in a group interview at the brothers' Hydraulx visual-effects house in Santa Monica, Calif.

Of course, they totally blew the chance for wacky product placement hijinks. Just think - an alien going through a McDonald's drive-through! Zany!

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

I'll take any Keanu I can get. So there!

Sadly, I draw the line at Keanu as a Jesus metaphor.
