Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

USA Today has a short piece on the new Harry Potter film: [link] They also link to a bunch of new stills from the film.

Dude. Look how tall Neville's gotten in picture #5. He looks Jack Davenport-ish.

Neville does not belong in 6th year Potions, damnit!! And Cho is 7th year, not 6th, so neither does she.

Oh, well, if that gives us more Neville time, I guess I can accept it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Um.

Sacha Baron Cohen will star as detective Sherlock Holmes and Will Ferrell as his loyal assistant, Watson, in an upcoming film comedy inspired by tales of the fictional English sleuth, Columbia Pictures said on Wednesday.

Art Crawl!!!

Could be brilliant.

Could be a trainwreck.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

As for which of the two is more likely, refer to the recent Pink Panther revamp with Steve Martin.

I think I'll probably wind up passing and just watching The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Younger Brother instead.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Saw Dan in Real Life which was okay (too many watch-from-the-hall moments), but I now realize that I don't absolutely hate Dane Cook. I've never seen his stand-up or whatever it is that he does, my hate for him grew out of seeing him in Mr. Brooks and figured, combined with what I later learned about him, this was just him and his thing, and I cared not a jot for it.

But, up until the end of DiRL (which I thought was... weak and wrong), I liked the guy and found him very un-Dane-Cook-like.

If I'm going to see a more hip version of Sherlock Holmes, I'll rent Zero Effect again. Much prefer that film over the idea of a lame comedic attempt at the great detective.
