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.

I heard there was a hobbit-themed subdivision that just went bankrupt. I think it was somewhere in the PNW

Punishingly Intricate

I feel like the food would be much better in Bag End then in Rivendale. (Rivendale's Elfland, right?)

"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

Bag End looked neat, but then I think of the vermin issues of being underground with as much food on hand as a hobbit's pantry must contain...

No one for living in Minas Tirith? Think of the base jumping possibilities!

I'd be up for living in Rivendell. Or Lothlórien.

“Not dead yet!”

Just got back from Australia.

Loved it.

Then again, I have an unreasonable love for all things Baz, so my opinion's probably utterly useless.

Hee. I thought you meant the continent at first, Barb. Then I realized what thread I was in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just got back from Australia.

Heh -- on a walk with my parents the other day, we ran into a neighbor, who used the exact same phrasing, and we all thought she had been on a trip! Sure, a trip to the movie theater...

“Not dead yet!”

Ha! Well, and I'm in such a wonderfully, blurry daze still, I forgot to italicize.

You wanna know the real tragedy? My in-laws are going in two weeks. To the continent.

I wanna stow away.

Art Crawl!!!

Finally saw the Bond flick on Friday: felt like an addendum to the first one. Saw it with somebody who hadn't seen Casino Royale. He enjoyed it - but was understandably confused by some of it.

Also thought that the action scenes were too confusing. (I thought that and thought that there was going to be some big payoff to the intercutting of the sewer/roof chase with the Palio at the beginning so that was disappointing.) I liked Olga and the way he treated her as a colleague. I also liked Fields and was sorry that she was killed. I wonder if they cut scenes where they say that her first name is Strawberry.

Art Crawl!!!

Oh, also saw Four Christmases yesterday.

A few laughs but mostly disappointing. (Although there were some amazing actors in that thing.)
