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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

My mom never goes to the movies, but we got her to see Wall E based on our gushing. She loved it, and it was just as good the second time. Actually, it was better because I wasn't as worried about anything so I could pay more attention. Oh and the short made the DH laugh just as much this time..he's so goofy.
GC's ranking is mine except I would put Cars under Ratatouille and Toy Story 2 4th.

Always Anti-fascist!
I really like Dan... Hated DC stand-up, but I guess he acted in the movie.

Also, Netflix sent me an awesome documentary "The Hobart Shakespeareans." Everyone that cares about kids should see it.

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

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I just got back from seeing The Hulk, finally.
I liked it, not loved. I did like the cameos and the humor, what little there was, but the Hulk is not a fun character, he's a sad, scary character, like Frankenstien's monster. Norton's Banner was good and I liked Tyler's Betty. William Hurt was ok and I thought Tim Roth was wasted.
tomorrow: Wall-e!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I thought I heard that a clever editor created the 1989 "trailer" to mimic the new one. See, e.g., comments here: [link]

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
For those who have seen Wall-E: Did anyone else come away with a healthy dose of overweight-unconcerned-planet-wasting liberal guilt? While still enjoying the story about the cute robots? Or was that just me? Cause I left feeling like I should go plant a tree, and then throw my TV out the window. (Or rather, find some way to recycle it, I guess...)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Aileann, that wasn't even subtext. It was pretty upfront, I thought.
They'll love it in France!
We saw it this afternoon. So many things to like about it. Among the things I liked that were not previously mentioned...
I loved Wall-E's panic when Eve pulled out the tape on his Hello, Dolly cassette.
I loved Eve falling in love with Wall-E from the security camera playback of when he took care of her when she was shutdown.
I loved the indestructibility of the cockroach. What the hell is up with Pixar and vermin, though?
I loved the thoroughly peeved look on Eve's face when she was sent down to repairs when she damn well knew she was the only scout unit to find plantlife.
I loved the resolve of the Captain. "Tell me about hoe-downs."
I loved the violent malfunctioning robot who went apeshit on the security bots.
I loved the contrast in design between the 2001 inspired sleek iPod world and the Alien-aesthetic of total rust and crud.
I loved the credits which worked their way through art history. Though I was disappointed they didn't find some contemporary artist to use like Chuck Close.
