Bale accused of roughing up his mother and sister:
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

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.

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.

Such a great way of putting it.
Count me in as a Shadow of the Vampire fan, but I know a few folks who were considerably more "meh" on it. They all agreed that Willem Dafoe was awesome, however.

Oh, yeah.
It's just atmospheric enough that, although I do think it's a good movie for a couple of reasons, it's something ... my eyes get in the mood for, if that makes sense. Like, sometimes I want to watch the unremitting badness that is Bram Stoker's Dracula for the sheer visual trip of it.

See, I still curse the studio for not letting Coppola cast Johnny Depp as Harker. I could have dealt with the tacked on love story no problem with that alteration, because the movie is such a visual feast, and enough of the rest of the cast was worth it to put up with the story alterations and Winona (I mean Tom Waits as Renfield? Genius casting!).
