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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Wait, does that mean the Gris is really Pete?

Well, I've never seen the two of them in the same room at the same time...

I guess she thought it would be a feel good movie about murder and cannibalism.

sighs

Oh, people. Why are you so silly?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The next film they have listed on IMDb is called "Burn After Reading," and stars Clooney and Pitt, and seems to be a comedy.

Right. I read that somewhere, but forgot about it (maybe a Clooney interview) and it is a comedy. I just hope it's more of a BIG LEBOWSKI comedy rather than a LADYKILLERS (or even INTOLERABLE CRUELTY) comedy.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

The kids want me to take them to see Alvin and the Chipmunks this afternoon. I'm scared.

Well, like I said, I knew it wasn't going to be a feel-good movie but was rather shocked by how bleak and very sad it was. I thought it would be more darkly comedic.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My sister laughed out loud through much of it.

My sister laughed out loud through much of it.

I thought there were funny parts but, god, mostly it just was so sad. (I did like it though I can't imagine wanting to see it again!)

(FTR, I was also very disturbed by the senseless deaths throughout Pirates III which I just watched yesterday so maybe I'm just in a mood.)

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Was I supposed to care about the death in Pirates III? I was sat looking at my watch thinking 'This is just delaying the ending! Stop already!'. They had possibly lost my attention by that point.

Atonement wins for a seven minute one shot with 2000 or so extras. The script is a little wonky in places and Ikea Knightley is annoying as ever, but it mostly works.

Maybe the ones in the beginning? but, no, of course not! That's kinda my point.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

FWIW, my mother adored Sweeney Todd. (My mother has become a raving Depp fangirl, with a side bit of adoration for Tim Burton. I keep teasing her for being late to this particular party.)

I haven't seen Sweeney Todd yet, because Pete is on a deadline, which means no galivanting off for a movie outing. I am not being very patient about this, because I absolutely must see Sweeney Todd soon, or I will die. Die, I tell you. My dad raved at me about the costumes and the art direction, and all the gothy fashion LJ comms have been burbling about it.

Hey. New board.

Wait, does that mean the Gris is really Pete?

I'm not THAT adorable.
