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.

Because books.

Oh dear. It's really, *really* bad, isn't it?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Humphrey Bogart as the smitten Irish stable boy! (Most hilariously wrong casting ever?)

Not only does he in no way resemble an Irish stable boy, he also IMO seriously unbalances the film by attaining in one tense snarling/flirting with drunk Judy scene approximately 10,000 times the chemistry she ever manages with Doctor Chinless.

Bogart and Davis are seriously (bitterly, wrongly, but very deeply) smoking together. After that scene, the movie for me completely collapses into absurdity. If you were stinking filthy rich and gorgeous and had less than a year to live, what would you want to do with that time? Play hausfrau with the chinless doctor who MADE EVERYONE AROUND YOU COMPLICIT IN LYING TO YOUR FACE ABOUT YOUR DIRE PROGNOSIS, or swan around all the most glamourous resorts of Europe having hot rage-against-the-dying-of-the-light sex with Humphry Bogart?

THIS. ::implied duh to be inserted here::

I still love that movie, though. Davis as Judy is just wonderful.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

This movie still makes me weep, although, if I knew fanfiction, I probably would have been all over Judy/stable boy. But she is trying to plant flowers while blind! I kept waiting for him to come back, because he was Humphrey Bogart, and I was so into Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart AND Katharine Hepburn in the 7th grade, when I watched all of their movies in the 99 cent rental bin at our video store.

If I knew about fanfic years ago ... Jesus, I would have written so much of it.

For awhile I felt like the most wrong casting ever was Keanu Reaves as Chevalier Danceny, but I recently rewatched and with my new appreciation of a) body language and b) slash, I have to reconsider...

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

Keanu Reaves as Chevalier Danceny

It wasn't good casting, but it was certainly pretty casting.
