a lot of films, especially independants, will open in limited release first and then go wide if they generate enough interest.

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.

And Appaloosa was one of them?

We're expecting huge numbers this weekend for High School Musical 3. This has aroused my curiosity for the franchise. Is the first one worth renting?

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
I thought it was acceptable for a made-for-TV movie. Not sure that it merits the media outpouring it's received, but then again I'm not a 13-year-old. I haven't seen the second one.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The second one is not as good as the first. The first one, like Ailleann said, is decent. And it has one really good song.

“Not dead yet!”
Abby liked the first one and she's completely the target audience. But she likes it mostly for Ashley Tisdale.

Apparently it's a big tourist thing, to go to East High in Salt Lake, where the thing is filmed.

I just watched Paths of Glory. Which wound up being kind of appropriate for October, since the execution scene is truly horrifying. To the point that it's almost funny, so I can see how you'd wind up making Dr. Strangelove a few years later.
Anyway. Glad I saw it, but now I'm depressed. So on a lighter note...
Dave White breaks up with the Saw franchise:
I guess you’re probably thinking that if I really understood you I’d have tarted up my words for you somehow and left you a cryptic note where I half-explained my unhappiness. Then I would have stuck that note inside an envelope that was also holding a key to a box. And that box would have been buried under a pit of deadly radioactive scorpions. That box would have contained your left lung, which I would have removed while you were under sedation. And I would have also filled your right lung with cherry-flavored Kool-Aid while simultaneously attaching a model train set to your skull. And then I would have outfitted the engine with little tiny rocket launchers that would set your entire face on fire. And you would have had 10 seconds to decide if knowing my true feelings were more important than having nuclear scorpions gnawing on you or having your nose melted off. I guess that would have been more archly poetic.

Hey. New board.
I love High School Musical. It is completely cheesy in about 700 different ways, but it owns it, so it works.
The second one was amazingly fun to watch the night it premiered after half a bottle of wine. I haven't had any desire to watch it again.
I am very excited for High School Musical 3. Because it should be silly and fun.
