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

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I loved The Muppet Movie but I haven't seen it since I was ten. ET we saw at the big anniversary re-release thing and it didn't hold up well. Especially with all the changes. And I was hoping for Harrison Ford's footage getting restored but that was just a big tease.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The making of a hero: Iron Man teaser recorded at Comic Con. Get it while it's still up...

Okay...that Iron Man thing looked very cool.

Holy crap. That looks awesome.

Dammit, it's gone! Curse you, Paramount!

I loved Blow-up, but I have to admit that L'Avventura left me cold.

Quick! Someone go check on... uhm, which other venerable European director is still alive? Eric Rohmer? Werner Herzog?

Whoo Tony Leung!

Seriously, he has the saddest, most beautiful face EVERRRRRR.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Werner Herzog cannot be killed by ordinary means. He will outlive us all.

I'd be very afraid if I was Jean-Luc Godard.

Werner Herzog cannot be killed by ordinary means. He will outlive us all.

I was going to say.

It was an insignificant bullet.

And a week or so later he pulls Joaquim Phoneix out of a car crash.
