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.

John Wayne IS Ghengis Khan!
Snerk!
Too bad the role killed him and nearly everybody else who worked on the movie, it keeps me from unbounded glee at how horrible it was.

The B&N I work at is having a midnight party/sale for the fourth in the Twilight series, and I'm making damn sure I am not working for this one. (I requested to work for HP7 last year.) Mostly because I'm sure there won't be that much need for it. We'll probably get about 50-100 diehards at best to stick around till midnight to buy their books, but I'll wait to work until the next day and see how many more get sold during normal hours.

ETA: Also, ITA on what she said about Dark Victory.
I agree with her assessment of EW's redesign. Hate.
Also, I had never heard of Twilight until I got this issue.

A new low in vampire cheese-tasticness has been discovered.
Speaking of which, Jilli, you need to be on the lookout for a new Swedish vampire movie titled Let The Right One In.
It's getting rave press.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, I have the novel it's based off of sitting in my to-be-read stack.

I'm just wondering why EW didn't go the extra mile and have the actors ride a sparkle-dripping pink unicorn over a rainbow for the cover.

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...
But before re-watch, you seriously thought it was worse than him as a) Jonathan Harker (who could have been played by Johnny Depp except for studio interference, goddamit!) or b) the role he played in Much Ado About Nothing (I think that's the name of it - the Branagh film with Denzeil and Emma Thompson and Michael Keaton, etc.)?
There's also Bertulucci's LITTLE BUDDHA to consider.

I was going to bring up Little Buddha. Actually, as long as Canoe kept his mouth SHUT he was excellent -- body language especially -- and if he spoke no more than three or so words consecutively, but the accent and diction was PAINFUL if he tried to do more.

With some significant exceptions (I'm thinking things like River's Edge, Parenthood, Bill & Ted (obviously), even Speed) isn't that pretty much the definitive statement about Keanu's acting?
