Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

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.

“Not dead yet!”

aaaaaaaaaaaand MTV is confirming Chris Weitz is considering that Copon douche for Jacob. so much hate for the movie world right now.

He definitely had that look of "My teen hottitude, let me shows you it."

Meh.

Good thing I'm not invested in the series. I can just settle in with popcorn and watch the drama.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm catching up on my Fringe and one of the eps has wall-to-wall "Curious Case of Benjamin Button" trailers, all of them different (I'm watching legally on Hulu, for shame!). Not only it is a relief from the wall-to-wall Monostat 7 commercials, but they make me more and more excited about seeing it. The latest one was done in music video style, which was tres cool. "My body is a cage" or somesuch.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

AUGH. AUGH. AUUUUUGH.

"That is the sound of ultimate suffering. The people in black make it now."

And all the rest of the people, too. I call boycott.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

SO MUCH wrong with that Crow remake idea, I can't even begin. I'm afeared to hear about his ideas on casting.

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

The original Crow might not have been perfect, but it was right, and you shouldn't mess with right.

The original Crow might not have been perfect, but it was right, and you shouldn't mess with right.

And we have no idea if some of that "not perfect" might have been circumstantial. Yet another reason not to mess with it.

Well, the story gets stupid, because they tried to give it a plot with suspense when it's really a horror movie where you're rooting for the monster. But I love the movie despite the third act, and it's got one of my go-to scenes for when I want to get cathartic chills.

I mean, if someone said, "I think that the original was not goth enough! It needs MORE GOTH," that would at least intrigue me. Saying you're going to do a "realistic" take on that particular story... That just tells me that Franchise Rebooting has become a genre of its own.

It tells me that someone probably hasn't watched more than the trailer of the original movie, and probably only just found out that the comics and graphic novel pre-date the movie.
