TMD made me very eye rolly. I stayed till the end, but I really didn't like her.
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
The Ref is hysterical and one i own and always want to watch this time of year.

THE REF is so made of awsome, I have no words.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I hated Love, Actually a lot. The recurring theme of Powerful White Guy + Younger Woman In Subservient Position creeped me right the fuck out.
I was about to say that my sister was an extra in PS, I Love You, but then I realized she was an extra in a completely different movie called p.s. Which I don't recommend because it's unbelievably dull and pointless, but if anyone does wind up renting it, my sister is on the NYU steps in the background of one scene. Or maybe Columbia. Whichever.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I liked some of the stories in it--the Martin Freeman one and the Emma Thompson ones in particular. And Colin Firth with yearning eyes is always nice to look at. The rest of the film I find rather blah.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The list of things I love about Love Actually is too long to post here.

Equilibrium makes me laugh, and it's a bit too earnest and serious, but I still adore it. Hated The Ref the first time I watched it but now love it to itty bitty bits. That's up there with Mixed Nuts. Adore Love Actually. And another holiday fave is Home for the Holidays with Holly Hunter and pretty pretty men.

I just watched Sunshine. Oof. That's up there with Spider-Man 3 on my list of Movies You Should Only Watch Half Of.
Because right up until the reveal of the "fifth crew member," I was really enjoying it. And then it went from awesome to craptacular in the space of about three seconds. What a waste.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm not speaking to Plei any more.
Not liking Truly, Madly, Deeply. Hmph.
