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.

When talking about genres, what would be the rationale for capitalizing westerns, and not musicals, science fiction, etc.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
"West" is a geographical area? The same reason you capitalize "The Old West."

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Maybe failing to capitalize Western could get you shot.

In related news, I was at Fisherman's Wharf yesterday and heard the theme from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, played on a South American flute.

I finally watched Redbelt last night. Good damn movie. I think it may have replaced Glengarry Glen Ross as my favorite Mamet movie.

Sean,
what did you like so much about the movie? I hated it. I really did.

The Museum of the Moving Image has a cool website: Moving Image Source.
Lots to explore there Including a piece on The Wire.
Oooh, Corwood would like this article, it opens with a comparison of the Wire with Straw Dogs.
Bonus: They break down each season of The Wire's title sequence.
Tivo Alert: TCM is showing the rarely screened Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush (Sept. 12) - a movie best known for its Spencer Davis soundtrack, but favored by me because it features Angela Scoular as the most blithe and madcap mod girl ever.
Not a great movie but enjoyable, particularly if you like the era.
Note to Aimee: it also features Judy Geeson (in a nude scene), aka the Mean British Neighbor from Mad About You.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Does anyone know the best way to fix a scratch on a DVD disc? My multi-disc player occasionally refuses to change discs without scratching the hell out of them, and did so on Sunday night to Disc 1 of my practically-brand-new Spaced set.
Damnit.
And I don't want to have to buy a new set unless I absolutely have to, so any repair tips y'all can give would be appreciated!
