Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

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.

New Wallace & Gromit--yay!!

I've got a bunch of films on my DVR that I think I'll be watching over the holidays: Ratatoille (sp?), Maltese Falcon, and Godfather Parts 1 and 2, none of which I've seen before. An eclectic bunch, but something for every taste, I'd think!

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

I've never felt so larcenous as I do right now, holding the teaser poster for Watchmen, featuring The Comedian falling. But I'm going to be a Good Girl and go put it in the poster closet where it belongs... until March when I can (fingers crossed) take it home honestly.

Todd Alcott has done a detailed summary/analysis of Dark Knight that I am kinda in love with. There's a lot in there I want to quote, but I'll just pick this:

When people complain about Batman being foolish in The Dark Knight, they're wishing for the strong, always-right, never-wrong Batman of their imaginations. But the greatness of The Dark Knight's narrative lies in how it shows that Batman is often wrong, and completely helpless when dealing with a criminal like the Joker. There is no defense against evil, only the strength to not give in to it. "If Batman has limits, I can't afford to know them," says Bruce in Act I, and here he's confronted with the folly of that headstrong philosophy -- Batman is all about limits, and the narrative of The Dark Knight is, in large part, an examination, and definition, of those limits.
