Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

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.

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 don't like any of Ferrara's movies

Ms. 45!

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.

move out and draw fire

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."

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

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.

That's kind of what I've been afraid of. The Worchowskis being in serious need of an editor has been my quick and easy summary of why I don't like the Matrix sequels as well. It's disappointing that Speed Racer is more of the same, as the trailers/commercials have been visually stunning.

I can't help but feel the original Matrix was too successful for the Warchowskis' own good. I don't know whether they feel they're above needing an editor, or their previous success gives them too much free reign from their higherups, but the end result is movies fulls of things like 8 and a half minute rave/sex scenes that bore audiences to tears.
