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.

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.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Want Battle of the Planets.

I'll second Cash's YES big time.

That sounds fun!

Except everytime I see Astrolabe I think of Héloïse and Abélard.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am such a geek....

MTV.com reported that the first teaser trailer for J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek film will be attached to Cloverfield, which Abrams is producing and which hits theaters on Jan. 18.

Cloverfield director Matt Reeves has seen the trailer and told MTV.com that "it's amazing, and it looks pretty incredible."

Reeves added: "I thought 'Well, this does look completely different and new.' But while having all the stuff that will make fans of Star Trek still feel fulfilled."

Reeves, a longtime associate of Abrams from their days on TV's Felicity, added that he has seen some footage from the top-secret Trek movie.

"I've seen little bits of the movie, too, and I feel that way as well," Reeves said. "He's doing an amazing job. It's very exciting. It's not your grandfather's Star Trek, that's for sure." Star Trek is slated for release on Christmas Day 2008.
