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.

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

Dude, the trailers for In Bruges SO did not prepare me for what that movie was about! It's not a quaint amusing buddy conman movie at all! It's tragic and moving! (Still very good, but seriously, trailer people, WTF?)

Also kind of glad I didn't see it when it was in theatres and D was only a few months old. Yeesh.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm definitely glad that I read some reviews before I watched it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Just got back from Wall-E. Best movie I've seen this year, and I tend to see EVERYTHING.

So, I saw WALL-E yesterday. Not sure what I think. I was somewhat distracted by A (5), who had a hard time following what was going on, and so got a bit frustrated. There were definitely things I loved, but it was very uneven.

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

New Bond trailer!! (It might disappear rather quickly--the YouTube has already been yanked.)

So freakin' cool.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

New Bond trailer!!

Eeenteresting. Impressions based on no knowledge other than the trailer:

1. Leave out the speedboats and shit, and it could be lifted straight from le Carre.

2. Except, nobody in le Carre looks like that shirtless, I'm fairly certain.

3. WTF is up with that rassenfrassen title?

It's the name of an Ian Fleming short story.

But it's still stupid.

I did not know that.

Yes, incredibly stupid. Stupid enough that I'll have to ogle the shirtless again to scrub my brain of it.
