I'm in the middle of watching The Prestige for the first time. I have to ask this question: Are nested flashbacks ever a good idea?
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

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.

Maybe in "Out of Gas"?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
We saw Fantastic 4: Silver Surfer last night at the cheapie theater, and I will say that it was definitely worth $3. Had a different actress been cast as Sue Storm, I would have *loved* it. But I have no use for Jessica Alba. None. Reed Richards had more chemistry with Victor von Doom than with Sue Storm.
Sue Storm's death was almost as satisfying as Sofia Coppola's in Godfather 3. Fucking Silver Surfer had to bring her back, though. (Sue Storm, that is. Not Sofia Coppola. I don't think; I kind of dozed off during Godfather 3, so it's possible that the Silver Surfer was in it and I didn't notice.)
Actually, I'm assuming that there's a ton of Reed Richards/Victor von Doom fic out there. As well as Human Torch/Thing fic, because they are SO life partners.
Julian McMahon was far better than the film deserved. And, despite how utterly suited he is to playing the villain, it struck me that *he* is the actor who seems best suited to play Batman. Apologies to Christian Bale, but Julian McMahon just *looks* like Bruce Wayne, and he could *definitely* pull off the creepy scary Dark Knight thing.

Right?!? I mean, Christian Bale kicked so much more ass than I expected in Batman Begins. He really was fantastic as early!Bruce/Batman. But as Batman gets even darker and freakier — well, Julian McMahon is *it.* I've never been able to mentally cast Batman, but I finally did.
(I still can't mentally cast Tim Drake, because lo, he is wily and indefinable.)

How about Seth Green circa 1998?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Does that mean Del Toro gets the $5 mil for staying home?
Indeed.

I can't de-Oz-ify him. And when I try to de-Oz-ify him, all I get is Chris from Family Guy.

Yuma cowboy flick
I haven't seen the trailer for this. Does anyone know it's actual name? I'm just curious because I lived in Yuma for three years. It claim for fame for a long time was the territorial prison.

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

Pretty sure that's why they're headed there. Movie's called 3:10 to Yuma.
