TDK: I was wondering about the physics of the pencil disappearance as well. I finally decided that it must have gone into the guy's eye.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I didn't think of that, Jon. The Joker must have really good aim.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Jon's assumption was mine.
I saw Hellboy. I need to go back and read the whitefont, but eh. I mean, the story, in the abstract, was fine, but it was predictable, and I like the characters, but they're (apparently) not that compelling to me. It was very pretty. Although I did have extenuating circumstances on watching, so, in other circumstances, I might have been more than "eh".

move out and draw fire
On a totally different topic, we were so sick of the few Mallory movies we have that we plunked down $3 for the Eragon DVD. I hadn't been able to watch it for more than 10 minutes on an airplane, but we thought, "Hey, dragons, Mal will watch it."
20 minutes in, he came and got me: "Mom, can I have a different movie? This one is bad. It is really so bad."

Hey. New board.
I just watched Shadow of the Vampire. It was not as cool as I'd hoped.

Because books.
Mal clearly has taste.
I loved Shadow of the Vampire ! I actually own it.

Hey. New board.
I was kind of... bored. Which has been a theme for me lately, as I saw the Broadway production of A Chorus Line on Friday and felt much the same. Bad musical theater / horror geek. No biscuit.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I loved Shadow of the Vampire too.
We saw Dark Knight on Sunday and it punched me in the gut repeatedly. Felt more like a horror movie than a super-hero movie. Today I watched Rambo (not recommneded) and saw a 50 caliber machine gun tear big holes in people and was not even a shadow of the disturbed I felt walking out of PG-13 Dark Knight.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Felt more like a horror movie than a super-hero movie
I think... This.
