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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Present in some != obligatory, is all I'm saying.

I'll grant you that. I'll admit to not seeing hardly any romcoms in the past 20 years or so, just because I think the genre has produced so few decent examples. The song clips are the ones usually shown when they show a clip from a film, so it seemed to me that they were more prevalent than in reality.

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

Uwe Boll Plans To Improv For New Movie On Darfur Massacre, 'Janjaweed'.

The movie will follow a group of journalists who "get confronted by attack and have to decide whether to help the people or simply report," Boll said. "I'm sure if my name [was] George Clooney it would run for the Oscars, this movie."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I cannot tell if he's running with his shit-ass reputation for all it's worth, or if he actually believes in what he's doing. What I've heard about Postal is so fucking appalling that I'd almost be willing to pony up for a hit fund, not just a retire petition.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'm sure if his name were George Clooney he wouldn't be making amazingly crappy movies based on videogames all the time, either.

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

I'm not sure what bout of masochism struck me but I actually watched the behind-the-scenes featurette for In the Name of the King. It was truly the worst featurette I have ever seen. Just somebody with a camera filming random bits of the production, no commentary, just some non-descript music. I got the feeling nobody involved in the picture wanted to come back and talk about it.

Because they might have to deal with Uwe fists of rage, perhaps?

I just got back from a free screening of The Fall, starring Lee Pace and directed by the guy who did The Cell. The premise is that Lee Pace is bedridden in a hospital, and he starts telling this story to a girl with a broken arm, and the story sort of shifts and evolves as she gets into it. It's cute. The girl is adorable and totally hilarious. She's either a brilliant actress or just so naturally cute that anything she says is gold.

Also, Lee Pace has got ARMS. Dude.

It was generally neat. Good but not great. The story-within-the-story is mostly deliberately cheesy nonsense, which is sort of disappointing. But the relationship between Lee Pace and the girl is solid, and that's the real point of the movie.

The girl is really funny. She cracks you up and breaks your heart. She's a very believably naive child.
