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.

I thought that was the director's cut.

There may not really be one, I guess. It wasn't finished at Cannes, and then as part of the distribution deal he had to cut it down. And he probably wanted to trim it anyway, but there was an interview where he said he would like to restore some of the stuff that was dropped.

Picked up "The Freshman" for 10 bucks at the grocery store. I love that movie, and by reading the dVD case, I see it's done by the same person you did the original, funny "The In-Laws." I'm afraid to see "The In-Laws" again for fear it won't be so marvelously, chaotically funny again. Could "Serpentine!" possibly be as funny when you know it's coming?

Always Anti-fascist!

based on my experience, yes. Ok, maybe not AS, but I still laugh every time.

I remember seeing the original "The In-Laws" in the theater when it came out. My sister and I were practically crying over "Serpentine!!" and even the Senor Wences bit was hilarious.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Why do I keep thinking that Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist and Zack and Miri Make a Porno are the same film?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I had that some problem for a little while.

Is that better or worse than thinking Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is some wacky Thin Man remake?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just saw a free preview of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. It was pretty funny. A bit clichéd, but entertaining and sweet. Nice to see Simon Pegg making it in the States.
