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.

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?

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

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.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

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.

And Mmm. Cranky M.

Oh, just to be clear, I am SO THERE as well. Possibly with actual bells on. Especially if such a thing would somehow guarantee me more shirtlessness.

Also, I suspect that the above whitefont spoilerfont is probably in DC's standard contract, and thus not so much a spoiler as a major selling point. But it amuses me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oooh. Looks a bit like Licence to Kill, no?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Anybody else just get the "we're keeping profiles" email from Netflix? I translated it as "please, for the love of God, stop calling us: you win."

Punishingly Intricate

What are profiles in Netflix?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Just got my notification.

The profiles are so that you can have a subscription for, say, 3 DVDs at a time. You can assign those DVDs to different household member's profiles. So Mum can get one, Uncle Tony can get one, and you can get one.

As opposed to having one profile for the whole house where you have to keep fussing with what DVD is at the top of the queue so that Uncle Tony doesn't keep getting his Sopranos DVDs and you and Mum get frustrated trying to get Pride & Prejudice and Shoot'm Up to be delivered.
