I saw The Fall over the weekend. Very beautiful and the little girl was wonderful.
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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Yep. Also, I'm one of the five people who liked the first one.
I was too. I mean, what sort of Hulk movie did people think Ang Lee would direct? It delivered everything I was expecting.
I watched ... Jesse James... last night. It was another in a long line of movies I think would have been better shorter. Then I discovered the original cut (and the one that got Brad Pitt a best actor award at the Venice Film Fest) was 4 hours long. Maybe the movie was supposed to be more of an experience of what it was like to live during those times than a thing with a plot.

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

I really liked the little inset panels. They were superfluous but neat.

"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
Oh the cinematography that mimicked comic book panels was inspired. If only there'd been an interesting (or sense-making) story to put in them...

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
OK, that's a story I've got to hear. Isn't your bar a sorta-kinda gay bar?
It's a kinda everybody bar, but definately very gay friendly. A lot of times people who are in town filming something or another or doing a concert will drop by. They can slum it in a hip divey bar, and no one is going to harass them because frankly, there are at least 20 more interesting things going on in that place on a Saturday night than some random celebrity sighting.
That being said, it was awesome having champagne with Fred from the B-52's, and Mr. Jane loves to recall the time he shared a mind eraser with Rachel Hunter.

Oooh, the Gotham Cable News website is up and apparently there's an "Gotham Tonight" On-Demand show on Comcast. Which I don't have. Boo.
Featuring world-renowned journalist Mike Engel -- who helped bust the Gotham "squid killer" -- and the GCN news team.
I desperately want to know more about the squid killer.

Art Crawl!!!
Wait - where do we find that?
I must see it.

It says that it'll be on Friday, so I'd check the On Demand listings then and see if it materializes somewhere.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
So I read a review (Village Voice, for those interested) of THE HAPPENING that gave things away. I don't know what I think, but at least it doesn't sound like I'd want to throw things at the screen the way the Twist in THE VILLAGE would have (spoilers saved me money and aggrevation there).

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Really? The maybe-spoilers I read -- well, I guess they wouldn't make me want to throw things, but they made me laugh and laugh and laugh.
Gonna whitefont, here: was it plants? Because that's what I read.
t edit Actually, I just read the Village Voice review, and I'm wondering if half of it was missing, or something. Because it was, like, 5 paragraphs long and didn't really say anything much, other than the fact that it's an underwhelming film.
