No trailer for The Dark Knight, which annoyed me all out of proportion. I just wanted to see it LARGE, damn it!
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I liked Mutt, but I hope to god Lucas doesn't intend to set him up as Indy's cinematic successor.
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."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
he was just lacking some essential Indy-ness in some of the scenes.
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.

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.

Oh, I shooed my disbelief away whenever it sneaked up and started making grumbly noises, but even so! He survived a nuclear blast in a refrigerator?! Even I made skeptical noises at that.
Oh, and I felt cheated about the lack of "the living dead" that were supposed to be guarding the city. Zombies, dammit! They implied zombies and didn't deliver.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hee. I had checked my disbelief at the door, but I was still wondering "how is he going to get out? They didn't make refrigerators that opened from the inside back then."

Jilli, Indy and roaches, man. When the apocalypse comes? That's what's left.
And all that I can handwave, because MARION! SEEKRIT INDY BABY! (Yes, that's the Bulletproof Narrative Kink I mentioned in email, blame YEARS of unrepentantly trashy bodice rippers, ahem.)
Even if Young Master Shia makes me feel like a dirty fuckin' cougar from hell.

Pfft. You're not even a cub, much less a cougar. Besides, you need to look...tawnier.
