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.

My wife had obligations galore this past weekend, so I had both kids for most of each day. During naptime on Saturday, I watched two of Kurosawa's first movies, Sanshiro Sugata and Sanshiro Sugata II. Both were convential wuxia stories (Sugata is a judo master who has to learn to control his power and stop accidentally killing those he wrestles), but both had moments of pure Kurosawa gorgeousness. In the former, Sugata is almost defeated when he looks at the sky and remembers an important lesson he learned earlier, symbolized by a flower that he focused on while mostly submerged in a pond, and... that's not important. The moment, with the flower juxtaposed on high-contrast clouds in the sky, is as beautiful as any of Kurosawa's finest.
On Sunday, I watched the final parts of When The Levees Broke, which should be required viewing for Americans of voting age.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Didn't Spike Lee do a good job with that? I was absolutely riveted through all parts.

Amen. It was fan-freakin-tastic. That's the talent Spike Lee has been hiding away for reasons that aren't clear.

Beau has seen another 1 (or 2?) of Lee's documentaries and he is convinced that documentaries are where Lee needs to devote his talents.

Don Cheadle apparently to replace Terrence Howard in Iron Man sequel?
Terrence Howard is kind of a weirdo, isn't he.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He's the one that issues cleanliness guidelines to potential partners--strict ones he'll discuss in interview.
Looks good with a classical guitar though.

Huh. Well, I like Don Cheadle, so okay.
