I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

New Watchmen trailer!

Hey. New board.

That trailer is somehow simultaneously a bit of a mess AND really awesome.

I don't know how that works.

As soon as you put "visionary" and "300" together I start giggling.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Well, the art director was visionary. Not sure I'd give that much credit to Snyder, though.

I totally know what you mean. I think part of it is that they use some of the same scenes from the old trailer, which I've watched fifty billion times.

Please tell me you've seen Lavender Hill Mob.

It's in my Long and Winding Netflix Queue.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fast and Furious is surreal. Anyone know if it completely ignores the sequels to the original? I just noticed the trailer says
"New model
Original parts."

Pardon me...I'm going through the trailers from my Apple TV.

Yes/No question: New low or new high?

When the life of Jean-Claude Van Damme collides with the reality of a hold-up in Brussels, Belgium, suddenly the huge movie star turns into an ordinary guy, filled with fears, contradictions and hopes. How can he be up to the legend he has built? What can a film hero do when the gun pointed to his temple isn’t charged with blanks? JCVD finds himself at the turning point of his “hero” life.

It's been getting really good reviews, ita.
