Woot! Just saw on Criterion's site that they are putting out EUROPA (aka Zentropa) in December. As much as I've had huge issues with VonTrier since then, Zentropa was one of my favorite movies the year it came out.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from 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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Art Crawl!!!
My brother and his family went East in September. I figured that they had just randomly decided to visit family (which they did) but actually - my SIL Mary had a screenplay entered in the DC Shorts film festival. And it won!
If only I had known - I could have announced it so that DCistas could go check it out.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The next Superman film will ignore the 2006 film and be a reboot. Warner hasn't said whether or not Bryan Singer will be involved.

I love that.

That is beyond a doubt the most eccentric cast I've seen on a movie in a long time.

It just played at the local film fest. Reviews were pretty mixed.
