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.

Hey. New board.
Love, Actually
Requiem for a Dream (if you like pain and suffering)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Martin Sheen is supercreepy and superfreaky in this.
I gotta admire the way he really committed to playing such a loathsome character. Between this and Badlands, he's lucky he didn't get thoroughly typecast a la Tony Perkins.

“Not dead yet!”
Love, Actually
Pretty much any Richard Curtis film, although Love, Actually is probably my favorite. Also gets points for the best use of "Both Sides Now" in any movie scene. Just utterly heartbreaking.
And Bev, speaking of Peter Riegert it still gives me the giggles to think of him going from being Boone in Animal House to playing Sam, the Pickle Man. Damn, but AH had such an amazing cast.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I have Crossing Delancey and Green Card (shut up. I love the apartment. And the roof garden. And the composing on the spot scene is great. As is Bebe Neuwirth) on tape, and an unreliable vcr. I need to find them on dvd.
I never saw Animal House. Or The Blues Brothers. I have seen and read enough refs to and from them, though, that I totally grok the latter and can benignly overlook the former. Nerds, however? I & II? Oh yeah. I can't *not* recite the, "Clap your hands, everybody! Everybody clap your hands" faux rap from the techno talent show act at the end of I. Mark Greene, Elliot Weston, onstage together. Who'da thunk?

Beverly - I love Green Card for the apartment and the roof garden too.

Compassionately intolerant
Montichello!
Is it sad that I still know the name of the face cream that was the cause of their INS undoing?
Yes. I think it is.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I still don't get why that was a problem. I thought INS assumed people studied for the fucking interview. why is this an issue?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
How did I miss that Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut opens on Friday? What a cast!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I still don't get why that was a problem. I thought INS assumed people studied for the fucking interview. why is this an issue?
THANK YOU!
I was all, umm, my parents have been married for DECADES (and Mom's green card was a gift-with-purchase with Dad's, as I recall, which is neither nor there) and I don't think my dad could name her face cream. Isn't the realistic married person answer "I dunno. That fucking stinky overpriced one that makes her look like a greasebomb when she comes to bed."
Green Card is one of those movies I only saw because I was trapped on an airplane and out of books.
