& Oh yeah: My parents have been married 48 years. Last week my Mom was stumped when someone asked her what color my Dad's eyes are.
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.
Mine just had their 47th anniversary,and they have that scary pseudo-telepathy thing where each knows what the other is thinking. Of course, since neither one can remember the name of something to save their lives, there wouldn't be much concrete information forthcoming for INS-style questions.
Mom would probably get Dad's favorite color right, unless he's forgotten that it's blue...
Oh wise Buffistas - CJ was trying to figure out which Pixar movie had the short of the one man band. I don't remember and we couldn't find it on the movies we checked. Anyone know what I'm talking about???
Tin Toy.
I'm pretty sure the one you're thinking of is on Cars. The one that ends with the little girl playing the violin, right? One Man Band
Ahhh, that is it. And it is one of the few Pixar movies we do not own. Darn it.
It's on their shorts collection if you're averse to buying Cars.
There's a little clunky writing in this, but I'm not too unhappy with this review (this is the same one I linked to in Literature). It's on Nerve.com, so browse accordingly.
Took some PTO today to spend it with my dad, and we decided to go see Appaloosa. When it was released, I thought, "Now, that's a movie to see with my John Wayne-loving dad!" and he did like the film a lot. I warned him ahead of time that I'd read that the film was more of a character study than a shoot-em-up action flick, and it was definitely that.
Both Ed Harris and Viggo were the usual great acting selves, and Jeremy Irons was quite good as the smarmy bad guy. Even Zellwinger didn't annoy me overly much, although I still want to have a plastic surgeon open her eyes up from the constant squint she has. The characters were interesting enough--RZ's Ally was nicely complex, Harris's Virgil was a wonderful older lawman a bit confuzzled by this woman and in a close friendship with Viggo's Everett, who was loyal, intelligent, and a keen eye with an eight-guage shotgun.
As one review I read said of Viggo, "Someone get this man another Western to star in ASAP!"
