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.

Cate Blanchette's character was very Dr. Girlfriend, wasn't she?
oh that's exactly who she was! I kept thinking Natasha the whole movie through but I knew that wasn't quite right.
Regarding your whitefont, I think after twenty years you wear the drag all too well .

Really? I love: Dr. Girlfriend, Cate Blanchett and shiny black bobs.
I expect I'll have to go.

Now tagless for your comfort.
While in NYC I walked through the movie set of the remake of The Taking of Pelham 123. Lots of cop cars and motorcycles, saw the makeup and costume trailers but no sign of Denzel Washington or John Travolta.

Definitely the Natasha accent, but the Dr. Girlfriend demeanor.
after twenty years
Well, this is true. And I love that the movie never tried to even pretend that Indy was younger and more spry. They just went with the fact that Harrison Ford is in his 60s, and bless his heart, he's pretty fucking spry for a 60-something-year-old. Also eternally HOTTTT.
And yet, he was just lacking some essential Indy-ness in some of the scenes. I can't explain it.
I liked Mutt, but I hope to god Lucas doesn't intend to set him up as Indy's cinematic successor. He was fun, but not *that* much fun.
The ending, of course, pleased me immensely. I may have sniffled.

No trailer for The Dark Knight, which annoyed me all out of proportion. I just wanted to see it LARGE, damn it!

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

I'm pretty sure that's the intention, actually. Spielberg's idea, not Lucas's.

I've seen the trailer a couple times, but it's always the old one!! I want to see the new trailer on the big screen, dammit. The one where the Joker actually refers to Bats as "the Batman."

maybe I need to watch it one more time. I'll bring ear plugs and blinders for that one scene.

I kinda hope he does.

We just got back from Indy. It was fun, even if it did take so much suspension of disbelief in some sections that even *I* felt a strain. But still, it was pretty much what I wanted in an Indiana Jones movie. And Mutt was darling.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Jilli, Jilli, Jilli.
You don't SUSPEND your disbelief for it. You leave it in the car, outside the theatre, and if it happens to come looking for you, you pretend you've never met it.
Which I'd have told you, but I fear the more time passes since the curtains closed, the rosier the view through my glasses grows.
