I know. I don't understand how that name change helps. LOTS of people know what The Dark is Rising is.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

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.

It's certainly not helping me ear-worm wise.

You smelled the smell?
I saw a trailer for "The Dark is Rising" and it bore no discernible relation to the novel as i remember it- but it has been a long time.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I don't know what The Dark Is Rising is, but it's a killer title. Making it a subtitle is dumb.

Dog is my co-pilot.
Hot Fuzz was hilarious. As if I didn't already know that I need to see Shaun of the Dead.
Just saw Hot Fuzz. It was quite fun. Not quite Shaun of the Dead zombie fun, but lots of fun. And Timothy Dalton was a hoot.
I'm always certain that when I watch British comedy films I'm missing some of the humor. Nevertheless, this was wonderful. I wonder if it's that much more funny if you're in the UK.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Emmett and I just saw the Simpsons movie. He's just discovered the show and thinks it's genius.
He laughed pretty much nonstop throughout.
Most important new data? He laughs at Itchy and Scratchy cartoons exactly like Bart does.
I think they nailed the ten year old boy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Saw my first trailer for that Yuma cowboy flick they didn't seem to be able to find Americans to star in. But hey--Russell and Christian look hot and fake Yank well. I'll be there.
It's funny you say that, because I heard over the weekend that Benicio Del Toro got a $5mm pay-or-play on that movie. They recast his role with Crowe, I guess.

pay-or-play
Does that mean Del Toro gets the $5 mil for staying home?

move out and draw fire
Got a fair amount of applause--all the big fight scenes got it
This is something I really miss about seeing movies in LA. I don't know if the audience applauds for movies in other cities, but they don't here. (Except for LOTR movies)
Some theaters, like Union Station, are fun because there's a ton of audience feedback and interaction, but it's not the same kind of appreciation for the art.
The Dark is Rising is dead to me. It's clearly going to be one of those movie adaptations that I will have to forcibly redact from my reality (along with the SciFi Earthsea and Demi Moore's Scarlet Letter)

Yes. This. The only thing that might remotely tempt me to see it would be the casting of Christopher Eccleston, but I don't think that'll be enough.
