I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yay! Now I don't have to see the X-Files movie.

And I did not understand the Frankenstein plot. Why? How? Why? What? What were they trying to DO? Was it just for shits and giggles? Chop off some chick's arm and sew it onto ZombieGuy - oookay, he needs radical surgery, or something. Okay. The only person you can find is a woman. Well, better than having no arm, I guess. So the next thing you do is...chop off his head. For no clear reason. And plug him into someone? Because...the who with the what now?

What was that Southpark monster with the Patrick Duffy leg and celery arm? Sounds about as reasonable.

Fay, I agree with every word of your X-Files movie review. So damned bad! Still love seeing Gillian, though.

We watched An American Crime last night because it has Catherine Keener and Ellen Page in it. Bottom line: Child abuse is bad, m'kay? Yeah, already knew it, thanks. Gratuitous ickiness, even though it was based on a true (sickening) story.

wrt The Crow, I am appalled to hear that the director responsible for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is allowed to direct anything ever again. Have you no prisons?

Pfft. Uwe Boll lives free to make crappy videogame movie after crappy videogame movie, and you think they'd arrest that guy?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I love MaC. It does a wonderful job of making the complex society of the ship clear in the middle of the whole adventure plot.

Alonso Duralde says that Seven Pounds is "the longest, most dour episode of “My Name is Earl” imaginable."

Hee.

Always Anti-fascist!

I love My Name Is Earl. Didn't expect to, but I do. But it's totally the right choice to play it for laughs.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I still adore it, especially because they do long-form plot developments and have a large cast of semi-regulars like Patty the Daytime Hooker, and Willie The One-Eyed Mailman (who is played by "Randy"'s real life father.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The home video department just had a screening of the new Wallace & Gromit short downstairs over lunch, and I can confidently report that it is AWESOME. Unfortunately I have no idea when it will be released in the States.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I am so ready for a new W&G! I didn't even know one was coming, so that's serendipitous.
