Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

It just wasn't released in US theaters until this month.
So it'll be hitting more of the smaller theatres soonish? Hopefully?

My brother, being actively anti-organized religion, rented Jesus Camp as well as other scary documentaries. He made me watch some bits and it was very disturbing and sickening (brainwashing, yay!). I think what really freaked me out is that all the official reviews said nothing but (ambiguous) positive things, as if they were afraid to bring down the wrath of the fundamentalist Christians.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Warner will be releasing a DVD at the same time Watchmen hits theaters, tentatively called Tales of the Black Freighter.

I just got back from Indiana Jones.

I... what? I was trying to like it SO HARD, George, but you gotta give me something.

Thrive to spite them

I watched Indiana Jones last night. It took me a while to get into it but I did. However I think it took a weird turn (going to white font this just in case the theme I talk about spoils something) into The Mummy and The Mummy Returns land then staggering (perhaps drunkenly) into Hellboy territory and then finally getting back on course.

However I liked Shia LeBouf (or however his name is spelt) and the character of Mutt much more than I thought I would.

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

I loved Indiana Jones because I have always loved Indy with a love that never dies. I recognize that the movie is deeply flawed and I choose to ignore it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

We're going to see Indiana Jones in a few. I'm not expecting greatness; just fun. Not even 10 tons of fun; just yay Indy.

From everything I've read of reviews, it's better than Temple of Doom, so that's all I need. I don't expect it to be as good as Raiders.

The movie was a lot fun, it didn't take me a bit to get into it, but it was a lot of fun.

I loved all the little references to prior films.

Second the Viggo love.

Went and saw Ironman, today. I have one thing to say, RDJ has eminently lickable arms. Oh, and it was a cracking good film.
