I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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.

Next to the unforgiveable bastardization of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, the stupid tacked-on romance subplot of V for V was barely a blip.

God, yes. This.

shudders

Also, for comics in general, I watched Superman Returns last night, which was so hokey and terrible and anvillicious that I longed for the relative subtlety of V for V.

And yet Superman Returns was still several zillion times less offensive and angry-making than X3.

Oh, Brian Singer. What were you thinking?

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

Oh, Brian Singer. What were you thinking?

That he was glad he hadn't made the third X-Men movie?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Maybe he was upset that the script didn't call for Jean Gray to make more Jesus poses.

Live action? just no...

signed way too attached to certain childhood memories.

The only anime I'd less want to see live action is "Amazing three"

Spacemen with a mission You must make a very big decision
With your solar bomb you could destroy us,
Or save the world or save the world
Amazing three! Amazing three! Amazing three!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Live action?

Sort of. Not really.

move out and draw fire

Want Battle of the Planets.

Discussing V for V with the guy who originally loaned me the book back in the day, and his entire comment on the movie was "Portman's pits were shaven in the baptism scene. Really threw me out of the whole mood."

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

"Portman's pits were shaven in the baptism scene. Really threw me out of the whole mood."

Happened to me in La Femme Nikita when we see Anne Parillaud's legs. They shouldn't have been so tidily hairless.

Otherwise I love the flick.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I saw the Speed Racer trailer on the big screen and it was Freakin' Awesome. Another Wachkowski film which breaks new visual ground and will be copied and copied.

Also Christina Ricci's bob was Freakin' Awesome. (I think it was her.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Want Battle of the Planets.

Oh my lord, YES!
