I don't like any of Ferrara's movies
Ms. 45!
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

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.

"possessed of a quality so bleak and joyless that it saps one's will to live."
That's IT!
And perfectly timed Matt, to coincide with my new tagline which comes from the 11th Hour promo on CBS.
I'm irked!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I wish I knew Russian, as I feel certain that language has a word for the concept of "possessed of a quality so bleak and joyless that it saps one's will to live."
I don't know; it sounds more likely to be a German word. In my (admittedly limited) experience with actual Russians and USians who grew up with Russian immigrant parents, they often manage the weird balancing act of being both very gloomy and oddly exuberant about the depths of their gloom. Not just sad and hopeless, but extravagantly, poetically, positively vibrantly sad and hopeless.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I loved Iron Man so much. It scared me and touched me, made me laugh and go "ooh!" and everything a good action movie oughtta do.
Speed Racer made me glad I hadn't paid for my ticket. I think it could have been a good 2 hour movie but (like the 2nd and 3rd matrix movies) too many scenes cried out for an editor. Still it had moments of joy and Emile Hirsch, John Goodman and Christina Ricci were fabulous (as were the kid and chimp playing Spritle and Chim-Chim). I thought Susan Sarandon was mostly wasted. I'm glad I saw it because now I can explain it to others.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Is it because I've skipped here that I didn't know Eddie Izzard was doing the voice of Reepicheep?

I'll see that and raise KING OF NEW YORK for casting alone.

I love King of New York anyway because it's Lawrence Fishburne's coolest role ever.
