Tom Hanks doing a bad fake accent. Ptui.

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.

Julia Roberts doing anything, but especially being a hooker with a bad dye job looking into the camera and braying at us. Maybe that's not the film though....maybe the trailer guy needs to spend a weekend in Gitmo. I might see "Walk Hard" but to be honest, there are very few movies that make me want to rush to the theater, knowing I can catch the video in six months. Don't understand why anyone would go to the Chipmunks, ever, though. With you on that one.ETA: And I'm now a big Aaron Sorkin fan, but not too long ago I rewatched "A Few Good Men," which I remembered very fondly, and it didn't really say anything, although I thought so at the time. I mean, Jack did his thing, and Tom did his, but I hadn't really realized how little actually happens in it. Ironically, that truth was hard to handle. So AS' name is not like The Good Housekeeping Seal or anything.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
keep in mind the trailer guy's job is to get the average person to want to see the film. They're trying to make "Walk Hard" look like the sequel to "Talladega Nights".

No, actually, I think it's "Charlie Wilson's" trailer that I've taken the dislike to. But my favorite "Walk Hard" ad is the John Mayer one. "That bastard is your father,"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Mike Nichols directed Charlie Wilson, so I havet hope it will be somewhat nuanced. Maybe I am a soft touch, but Walk Hard looks like a movie I'll dog--they got good songwriters to write the parodies and if they get the tone right, it could be good silly fun.

I'm watching Polar Express for the umpteenth time, and every character but like three are Tom Hanks. It makes the movie additionally horrific. (Although, The Hobo may be my favorite Tom Hanks character, and replacing the actual dialogue with Hanks' dialogue from Saving Private Ryan can be amusing).
Another surreal and slightly tragic bit is that one of the three not-Tom-Hanks characters is Peter Scolari, the "other guy" from Bosom Buddies.

James McAvoy is TOTALLY my movie boyfriend of the year.

an absolutely good guh, Laga. McAvoy is such a treat to watch and i'm pretty sure he's one of those amazing BBOC actors to boot.
