If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

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 gots DVDs today! B&N is having a "buy 2, get 3rd free" sale this month, and combined with my discount card, I did pretty well. I got:

BSG S3
M Criterion Collection
West Side Story (collector's edition)
Music Man
Sound of Music
Meet Me in St. Louis
Cabaret
Untouchables
Richard III (Ian McKellen version)

Most of these are replacing VHS tapes--I still might get a few more (Divine Madness, Stop Making Sense, Holiday Inn, Speed, and Run Lola Run) to replace other tapes.

That's a nice haul. I took advantage of this sale too. I splurged and got the first 3 seasons of Doctor Who.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

50 minutes into The Assassination of Jesse James and I am simultaneously bored, creeped out, and delighted by some of the cinemetography.

Casey Affleck certainly devlivers on the creepy, annoying, obsessively creepy, creepily sad, and just plain creepy.

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

What's the spoiler policy for trailers? There's a big casting spoiler in the new Hulk trailer.

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

Movie casting spoiler? Do we have those?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think trailers are like promos - even when they're spoilery, they're not technically spoilers.
