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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also fun was the "18 heures/18 francs" week when whatever showing started at 6pm (or so) was 18 francs and we would see a movie a day for the whole week.
I'm still freaking out about the idea of a monthly movie pass in Paris. And I heard about that years ago! Oh! From our mutual friend/classmate.

I think both major chains have the monthly pass. And, my favorite for short visits when I want to pack in a lot of movies for not so much money, the card where you prepay for 5 tickets. You can use it once with 4 friends, or use it for 5 shows on your own. It works out to where you are paying a little over 1/2 price.
Truly, Paris is a movie buff (and buffista) wonderland.

Yeah, I think after Dark Knight you won't get a lot out of Burn After Reading. I'd go with that one first if you can. Wall-E (which I haven't seen) might be enough to hold its own, though.

I'm sorry.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think the way Wall-e starts out and builds has the power to follow Dark Knight but the short subject Presto in between will be awkward.

It may also cause you to nose your soda if you're drinking one, so forewarned.

It was sort of "Let me put you through emotional rauma, then lighten the mood. Now let's make out."

Criterion has a new website, now with the ability to watch streaming film (mostly for a fee.)
I wish they were on demand as opposed to streaming. My tsetse fly-like attention span means that I often watch things in more than one sitting.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I seem to have somehow started a rumour there's going to be a Buffy movie.
Uhm, well done me.
