I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.

White Noise 2: the hell?

Oh, Nathan and Katie, the crap I watch for you. The crossfade-porn alone made me want to gouge my eyes out.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Does it manage to be even less sensical than the original? (Not a small challenge, I'll admit...)

Um, more sensical . . . in that I was sober when I watched it. The first White Noise I was three sheets to the wind fifteen minutes into it and was surprised when I saw the end credits rolling. I remember Michael Keaton staring at static on a tv in a dark room and that's about it.

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

Set details about the next Trek movie. Basically it's a rundown of the ship sets involved, and there are plot spoilers to be had from that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sex and the City (minor spoiler): You can get married at the Public Library? Really? That would be so cool!

Yeah. That's about what I got from that. It was cute, there were some parts of the ending that I liked, others not so much.

Art Crawl!!!

Hil, I think I saw that location in one of those wedding shows on TLC. Or possibly in an episode of QE.

Yeah, I just looked it up. I totally want to get married there. It's probably ridiculously expensive, though.

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

Home invasion, creepy villains, screaming, running, flailing, lots of blood.

check, check, check, check, check, check

The parts I saw were few but very creepy. It's getting mostly meh reviews. They say the french film it's based on is better (big surprise there).

What is even happening?

Rudy Wurlitzer talks about his career on Maud Newton's blog.

That's better than talking about his organ.

(I'm sorry. I'll let myself out.)
