Alpha Dog was so heartbreaking. i've only been able to watch it once even though i really, really loved it.
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.
It was brilliantly done. Even if it wasn't true it would still be heartbreaking. Sharon Stone's insight in the featurette is spot on, too. They were all just kids. I'm surprised to find out the trial of "Johnny Truelove" has been pushed back to 2009. I thought he'd already been convicted.
When I first got interested in cinema I would see a movie with someone I really liked in it and look them up in the video companion (no internet back then) and rent everything I could with them in it.
I went through a Bogart Phase, Ingrid Bergman, Robert Duvall, Audrey Hepburn, Sean Connery. Now I get interested in an actor, look them up and find I've already seen most of the stuff they've done. I have to wait to watch what they've got coming up next.
I'm sure there's stuff out there I'm missing, heck I still haven't seen Gone With the Wind. But I miss being able to discover a dozen films featuring someone I've just fallen in love with.
Oh, Aims - Harry Potter nude scene in film 6? (I need to reread HBP because I don't quite remember that.)
He's naked in 7, in the train station afterworld, but I don't remember him naked in 6.
Ok - I'm all for gratuitous DR nekkidness in my presence, but it seems as though they're tossing it in there to maybe make up for making people wait another billion months for the damn movie or to profit off of Equus in some wierd way and that's irritating.
Where the hell in 6 is HP nekkid???
He was already naked in Goblet of Fire but he was too young and there were too many bubbles.
Also, Shirley Henderson acting pervy enough that those otherwise inclined to appreciate the view were probably put off.
HP+HBP moves to 2009 and Twilight moves their premiere from December to mid-November.
To add insult to injury, EW has Harry Potter on the cover of their "Fall Movie Preview" double issue that arrived in my mailbox today.
Bah.
