I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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.

Didn't the Yuri Geller-esque phony psychic from "Clyde Buckman's Final Repose" also make a reappearance?

The Stupendous YAPPI!

Yeah, I think he did.

That Millenium ep had to be a Darin Morgan episode, right?

Man, there's someone I would have loved the Mutant Enemy folks to get a hold of after the X-Files were done. Though I did read he was really slow in writing his episodes.

So um, I liked Dark Knight. I didn't love it. I think I may need to see it again to work out exactly how much of a clusterfuck the plot is, and how much of that is deliberately done for effect. I definitely like it more this morning than I did last night - the good bits are sticking in my mind, and the ones I wish had been edited out aren't.

The performances are stellar. The production design continues to rock. The IMAX....WOW. I mean, WOW. This is one seriously good-looking movie. And it's BIG. Very, very big.

Your LJ post starts duplicating itself, Jess.

By the way, I LOVE that avatar.

Thank you!

One other nonspoilery thing - as much as I like the actor, casting Nestor Carbonell as the Mayor was a mistake. There is just no way to make casting Batmanuel in a Batman movie not funny.
