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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I haven't seen Mohicans in a dog's age, so I have no real opinion on DDL's running. I will note, however, that he is an extremely graceful man and a thorough actor, so I'm sure the running is properly hunter-like.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
The defining Matt Damon role for me would be the first several minutes of Eurotrip.
I don't think he was even in the credits, but it's what made me a Damon fan.

There are many cool bits in the first movie's action scenes that you can refer to: magazine attack! Pen in the hand! Driving down stairs! Narrow alley employ! In the second there are no such distinguishable elements.
I mostly agree with you -- the first movie is much better and has many more Cool Bits -- but the awesome magazine fight (followed by exploding house!) is in the second movie.

Figures - 'cuz he already stabbed somebody with a pen in the first one.
In the third one, he'll dispatch somebody with a tape dispenser.
I'm going to go practice my tape fu right now.

So, Matt, guess what? According to J.J., the Ethan Haas sites aren't connected to Cloverfield. So we have no blinkin' clue what they are.
Slusho, however, is in-game. In the trailer, you can see a guy wearing a Slusho shirt, even.

He spent the entire film sniffing about how it wasn't filmed where the story was set (He identified every. single. plant. on sight...and loudly)
I thought the scenery in Mohicans was gorgeous, but it did bother me, because it's clearly NOT Connecticut, et cetera. I know how the woods are supposed to look around there, dammit.

Compassionately intolerant
I shoulda known. My aged, sciency friend just doesn't have the it's a movie...just enjoy it gene. The scenery was so gorgeous and there were at least SOME attempts at verisimilitude, but nope...not enough.
Then again, I see therapists on film and say 'oy jeez. they would NEVER do that', so I guess I understand that particular crank.

I felt the same way watching the Sopranos episode where Tony takes Meadow on a tour of colleges in Maine. NOBODY ever seems to get Maine right, unless they actually film there (and even then it can be a crapshoot). Which is strange, because New Jersey isn't THAT much further North - you'd think the foliage at least would be somewhat similar.
It didn't help that they actually had scenes where they were supposedly at Bowdoin College. I grew up using Bowdoin College as a playground; that was no Bowdoin College.
