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

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.

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

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.

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.

amych, the name comes from a short story that was in the book "For Your Eyes Only."

It's dumb, but there was enough shirtlessness to make up for it.
Besides, possibly slashy chemistry again with what's his face, AND backlicking? I am SO THERE.
