Paris was so much prettier.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Gilding the Lily
What movies get wrong (and right) about gardening.
So there I was muttering, "Fraud, fraud," while watching Enchanted April.
It's a charming movie that sets very few viewers to grumbling. Oppressed women leave cold, rainy 1920s England and proceed to find happiness, peace, and sunshine in a rented castle on the Italian coast.
My complaint wasn't about the story line but about the fact that the movie's Portofino, Italy, hillside garden was bursting with flowers that wouldn't be blooming simultaneously. No garden in the real world would look like that—the blooms of high summer (roses, sunflowers, geraniums) right next to the flowers of April (daffodils, tulips, camellias). It's garden fraud.

"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
Mostly, though, my memory is of that whole "Cousins! They're cousins, okay? COUSINS, damn it!!!" thing.
Cleolinda certainly did make that movie a lot more enjoyable in retrospect. I can't see a photo with Brad Pitt in armor and helm without hearing the smartass audience member yell "STELLAAAAAAA!" in my head.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
But they are all extremely pretty. Especially in the midriff shirts.
Sean Bean as Odysseus is the best thing about that film, both in terms of acting and eye candy.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'll vote for Eric Bana as Hector, at least in the eye candy category.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Paris was so much prettier.
True. And we got to see him mostly-shirtless a lot. Sean Bean was actually quite wonderful.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I hear that, sister! [link]

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
"Cousins! They're cousins, okay? COUSINS, damn it!!!"
This totally gave me flash backs to Mean Girls. A film I love.
