I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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.

Le sigh.

Indeed.

ET was the first movie of that rating (14, was it?) that I saw when I turned that age. Me and Nadia DeLonghi--her birthday was two days after mine, and that's how we celebrated.

I liked it then. I will never watch it again.

I didn't like the Muppet movies anywhere as near as much as I liked the show itself, and now I want to bump all the episode discs up my Netflix queue from where I politely dispersed them.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

"Master, he killed the younglings".

Younglings. Seriously. I have no idea how I stayed awake during SW Episode 3.

Ingmar Bergman, 89, RIP.

Aw. One of my faves. Something someone said the other day was making me imagine Harry Potter as done by Bergman.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Younglings. Seriously. I have no idea how I stayed awake during SW Episode 3.

For me, it was rage coupled with nausea.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, I watched/listened to the teaser for The Dark Knight and HL certainly sounds like the Joker.

Looks like somebody forgot to work on his chess game.

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

Looks like somebody forgot to work on his chess game.

Or maybe he's been fending off death since he was 48.

Fanny and Alexander is one of my favorite movies.

move out and draw fire

I saw his theatre company do Lear in Toroto in 1990? 1991? The production was just okay. Branagh played Edgar and was terrible. Emma Thompson played The Fool as a misshapen, almost Igor like character and just completely blew me away. Definitely in the top three stage performances I've ever seen.

I saw this in LA, in 1989/90, and felt the same.

I, however, loved The Muppet Movie like crazy.
