I only really noticed it on Sept . I suppose I shall have to see it again.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Are there any theatres that do special shows where mothers can come with the baby? And everyone is in the same boat? Or would that just not be enjoyable?
Sumi- I'm not sure where you're at but there are a lot of these in California. At Pacific Theatres they're called Monday Morning Mommy Movies and they are every Monday at 11:00 am. They keep the house lights up just a touch so you can see if you need to change a diaper or something and they turn the volume down just a hair so if your baby is sleeping she'll stay that way. The mommies I've talked to just love it.

It's a day full of Doris Day movies on TCM today. I love Doris Day.
But I also love Maureen O'Hara and her day is on next Friday (lots of swashbucklers), with Rosalind Russell the following Monday.
Mark your Tivo calendars.

Thrive to spite them
I just got back from watching Bourne it was really good, although the camera work made me dizzy at times.
And Doris Day movies! I've got to clear off space on my dvr.

I just remembered one tiny detail about Bourne that I loved: when Bourne goes to Marie's brother's apartment, there's a dangling elephant mobile thingy hanging in one of the doorways. It's exactly the kind of thing that Marie would have picked up in India and sent to her brother. (I noticed it because I have one, which I got in Rajasthan.) Just that one set piece made the whole scene come alive, to me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I just got back from Stardust! Enjoyed it muchly. Haven't read the book, so can't compare; just as well. What was the
special thing about the brothers' costuming? I guess
I missed that. I must find just bought the illustrated book.
I of course remain miffed that the crown only passes to the male heir, but that's an on-going thing rather than a specific beef with this movie.
Loved DeNiro. Loved Pfeiffer. She does evil&crazy really well, and I haven't seen anything DeNiro doesn't do well.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Someone needs to write a Stardust fic about Capt Shakespeare's First Mate . Nothing porny, just a character I'd love to hear his story.

I just put in Drunken Master III. I am digging the steampunk vibe. There was a steam powered trolley and then a guy with goggles and ooh a motorcycle with a sidecar just showed up!

I saw Paprika this afternoon. A fun enough watch, but it didn't do much that The Cell didn't do earlier, and with far more arresting visual style.

And today was my day to see Paris je t'aime, which I thought of as a spinach movie and ended up enjoying tremendously. Though I now feel sorry for Vincenzo Natali. I'm sure he thought his Lord of the Rings-meets-Underworld segment would be the most frightening, then his fellow directors trumped him with overweight mimes in love and Nick Nolte.
The "Place des Victoires" segment with Juliette Binoche just slew me. So touching. And beautifully shot, even in comparison to most of teh other segments .
