The next Bond flick is going to have the Palio in it!
Neat!

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I thought Night Dreams were by Andrew Blake?
That would be Night Trips you're thinking of.
Why yes, I do like arty porn on occasion. Why do you ask?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think Andrew Blake did "House of Dreams" or was there "Night Dreams" too?

Boy, I couldn't disagree more about Brad Bird having any Ayn Randiness to him. Ayn Rand's point was that the truly talented would naturally all be selfish, money-grubbing capitalists who could create a better society without that meddlesome government mucking up their pure vision. Bird's point seems to be closer to Vonnegut's in "Harrison Bergeron," (sp?) which is that society should not restrict the talents of the exceptional. There seems to me to be a world of difference between Rand's "we are your natural free-market overlords" approach and Bird's "don't discriminate against my talent" thing.

Bird's "don't discriminate against my talent" thing.
I haven't seen Ratatouille yet, but the impression I got from The Incredibles is that Bird is really pissed at Warner for interfering with his movie and firing him.

I finally got around to watching my Netflix dvd of Children of Men this morning. Quite excellently done, especially by the director and cinematographer, as well so many of the actors. Clive Owen was fantastic as Theo (his falling apart in the woods was perfectly done), and the girl who played Kee was great.
I didn't even recognize Chiwetel Ejiofor as Luke until I saw some of the extras after watching the movie.
I might have to buy this film.

Almost the EXACT same thing happened to me (except it was when the end credits ran). The embarassing part is I had seen him mentioned in reviews and completely forgotten. I kept playing "who is that guy?" all movie.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I LOVED that film. Clive Owen being the motherfucking man. The amamzing cimemtography. Michael Caine--actually ACTING again.

I was also not crazy about Ratatouille, although for me it mostly came down to "Why were there hardly any women, and why was the one woman who had a prominent & interesting role reduced to Boring Love Interest halfway through?"

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I hate edited-for-tv movies. Why do they do that to films?
