Why do I keep thinking that Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist and Zack and Miri Make a Porno are the same film?
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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.

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

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.

Megan, If it was, I'd go. But it probably isn't.

I'm wathing The Hidden Fortress. The dubbing is a little annoying but it's mostly on the entertaining side of cute. I got it confused with Kurosawa's masterpiece. I wonder why they didn't translate it as The Suspended Fortress. Isn't that what the original French, La Forteresse Suspendue translates to?

Literally yes. I haven't seen it, but suspendu is most often translated as hanging. But it could also mean perched atop something. Or suspended in the sense of deferred, stopped.

Maybe they figured suspended was open to too many interpretaions and they didn't want to translate it as hanging and have people think of nooses. The fortress in the movie is up in the trees. It's pretty awesome.
