Buffistas

Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

As much as I like some of Bergman's films and Antonioni's films (and I like a few), I'd be a bit more troubled by their deaths if I'd had any idea last Friday that either was still alive.

And Herzog is a whole generation younger than those guys. I think both were older than Godard, too.

Michel Serrault died. Could that be #3?

That's sad, he was still doing great work these past few years. I really liked him in Une hirondelle a fait le printemps not to mention Nelly & M. Arnaud and, of course, La Cage aux folles.

Godard is almost 80, so not quite as old, but he's up there. (But younger than my dad!)

Him and Wim Wenders are pretty much the same generation, right? I think Fassbinder too, but he was obviously the anti-Herzog in terms of longevity (though not volume of production).

I thought Fassbinder had a few years on those other two. But I'm too lazy to confirm or deny.

Aaaand, to tie 2 discussions together. I adored him as Orsino to Helen Hunt's Viola in the Twelfth Night I saw.

Oh, yeah.

Huh. Went and checked IMDB, and Herzog's '42, and the other two are both '45. Of course Fassbinder died in '82, so he probably gets perceived as older (along with his ridiculous volume of output - 43 movies credited to him as director between '66 and '82!).

Man! Fassbinder wasn't even 40 when he died! Crazy!

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

Also, someone linked to it earlier as a "very buffista movie."

I haven't seen the film but I thought Adam pulling God's finger was buffista kinda humor.

ETA: so Brenda: please go see it and tell us how it is!

The Ten features Winona Ryder in the 'Thou shalt not steal" section, iirc.
