Ugh, and he was just trying to help out.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Ants! Why did it have to be ants ? Why didn't anybody warn me? I had to plug my ears but I could still hear it. ::shudder:: I'm going to have to find a crystal skull to sleep with tonight.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Laga, and today, on my hike through the state park adjacent to my parents place, a trail took us through 1-2 foot high ant hills, and for maybe a hundred feet up and down the trail they covered it.
Bad day to wear my tevas.

Back to The Fall, IMDB lists it as 2006, fandango had a "Buy Now" link, and there are limited showings near me and some more in Manhattan. Is it just coming out, or is it fading away? Because maybe I'll have to head into the city this week to see it (oh the joy of working in a town with a direct line to Penn!)

Juliebird, IMDB lists it as 2006 because that's when it premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. It just wasn't released in US theaters until this month.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The rewatch also rekindled my absolute love of Jessica Harper and I'm sorry that she seems to have disappeared from the acting biz.
Isn't she great? Also fantastic in Phantom of the Paradise and Pennies From Heaven (Steve Martin edition).
Well, now I know you skippped or skimmed or missed my Dan Hicks article with Oxford American because she's a serious session singer who worked on his comeback album (with Karla Devito), singing red-hot Andrews Sisters, swing-era style close harmonies.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Jesus Camp. It's been written about elsewhere at length, but you'd think that a scene in which pre-scandal Ted Haggard leans into the camera and makes a joke about how he knows what you did last night, well, you'd think that scene would be the creepiest moment in any given documentary movie. But it's not even in the top ten.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, wrod, Corwood. I still find myself thinking of it a lot.

I saw the doc before the Haggard scandal broke and now part of me wants to go back and watch it again from a new perspective but I don't think I can take it a second time.
