but I saw Ne le dis à personne (Tell No One) yesterday.
I saw it at a French film festival at the Boston MFA a couple weeks ago, and enjoyed it immensely. Even if Francois Cluzet looks bizarrely like a French Dustin Hoffman.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

Not good, not good.
Hmmm, I thought it was not great, but not bad. And that's factoring in my belief that Amanda Peet is a female Capt. Caardboard.
The only thing that bother me was trying to figure out if West Virginia would really have all that much snow.

Amoeba Report: New director's cut of Dark City is out.
Also, there was a newish looking edition of Something Wicked This Way Comes (Jonathan Pryce version). Is it new, or has it been out for a while?

As a DVD I think it's been out for forever, but I have no idea if they did a significant new version. Also, is there a version other than the Jonathan Pryce/Jason Robards version?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I found XF more workable if I thought about it as an episode than as a movie.

Not that I'm aware of. And I wish there would be a different version, because I want a movie of that story where the Dust Witch hasn't been changed into some sort of spider queen. Seriously, SWTWC is one of my favorite books of all time, and I'm sad that I can't watch the movie because of my phobia.

X-Files:
I hated the wink-wink-nudge-nudge moments. It angered me that the sadistic killer was gay (I leaned over to GF and said, "Goddamned homos - at it again!"). I thought Scully was ridiculous with the not wanting to go there again when it was she who dragged him back in. I didn't think the story was all that compelling and I'm not sure what made it an X-File. Just cause there was a psychic on the case? Meh. And finally, I truly hate that Chris Carter made them a couple. Seriously. Hate.
