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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hope this doesn't screw with shooting HBP much.

Awesome. Now I know what to get the little guy for Christmas.

I pimp Avatar to everyone who will stand still long enough to listen, and especially people who have or are buying for kids. I can't wait for the next season to start.

Basically, the musical pastiche was so unworkable, and the visuals so monotonous, that I wasn't even pulled in enough to be offended.

I was so terribly bored that being offended gave me something to do.

Avatar is wonderful. I don't know if 2-3 y.o. would get it, though.

Start with Pee Wee's Playhouse and work your way up.

Always Anti-fascist!

David Strathairn Funny, cause in "Good Night and Good Luck", I went from "Hey, it's That Guy!" to "Is it me, or is he sexy now?" Which was new to me, as I didn't socialize much in college. But I'm glad I'm not alone in that. Even if I still can't remember his name and might shout out "Oh, look, it's Murrow." I hope he'd think it's a compliment. Or better than That Guy, at least.

Hey. New board.

I can't wait for the next season to start.

September 21 FTW.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In certain quarters this used to mean: Fuck The World.

Or as I hear it in my head: Fuck the What?

Of course it means: For The Win

...but the associations are slippery.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I always have a moment of

Fuck the What?

... and yet I love it anyway.

Avatar is totally cool, but you should go with My Neighbor Totoro for that age. My niece is completely smitten with it, much to my delight. I got it for her for Christmas. Her birthday is coming up in Sept. (3 years old already!) and I've bought her a big ass stuffed Totoro. She is going to freak out.

Once you go through Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service is a great next step.

Hey. New board.

I never even thought "Fuck the What?" even when I had no idea what it meant. Weird.

Edit: I also love that this conversation is about kid-friendly movies that will make kids be awesome. Based on my own experience, I will simply suggest keeping The Shining out of all children's grasp until they are pubescent, unless you want to create at least a decade of nightmares.
