Jessica, I agree.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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 just watched Sunshine. Oof. That's up there with Spider-Man 3 on my list of Movies You Should Only Watch Half Of.
So walking out of it at the 50 minute mark was a good decision, then?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That's all right, Dana. I'll watch with you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw I am Legend last night. Should have been called I am Interesting for the First 30 minutes and Then Craptacular CGI and a Zillion Plot Holes Take Over

Now tagless for your comfort.
I am Legend Scrappy.
I thoroughly enjoyed WS's acting but I would have appreciated less CGI (feh on the herds of deer and the lions--STUPID and unnecessary) and more exposition on the Dark Seekers. The ending didn't piss me off as much as I expected.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
It breaks my heart that people are coming to see that one and the effing Chipmunks in droves but Walk Hard and Charlie Wilson's War are running with fewer than 15 people in the audience. Stupid consumers.

What is up with Jason Lee and the stupid animated animal films? I thought he'd sunk to a new low with Underdog but Alvin and the Chipmunks? WTF?
We're ambivalent about Walk Hard but some of the trailers look so awesome. I also want to see Charlie Wilson's War.

I've heard rumors that Jason Lee might have some habits to support. Or hey, maybe he cleaned up his act and has a kid now or something. Seems like the most common reason for actors starting to do crappy kids movies is because they have kids.
That or habits. Or contractual obligations.

Well, count me among the stupid consumers because you'd have to knock me out and drag me into the theater to get me to sit through either of the latter movies.
ETA: Have you seen how much vitamins cost these days, Sean?

I think Jason Lee does have kids.
What is it that turns you off about Walk Hard and Charlie Wilson, Matt?
