Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Sanders is awesome in All About Eve. Random thought: I almost wish it had been Sanders in the Clifton Webb role in Laura - he would have been awesome at the bitchiness of the character.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Clifton Webb does not bow to anyone when it comes to bitchiness!

Yes, but to the point that you spend the entire movie wondering why he's romantically obsessed with Gene Tierney instead of Vincent Price or Dana Andrews.

Gay men are frequently obsessed with women. Cf., Judy Garland, Doris Day, Liza Minelli, Madonna, Cher.

Here's a good way to kill your productivity.

Actor profiles (more like valentines) at the Bright Lights film journal.

For instance, The Elusive Pleasures of Irene Dunne.

Who doesn't love Irene Dunne? Only people who haven't seen her.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think my local movie theater does it on purpose: [link]
