They all involve rats.
Hee.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

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.

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.

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

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I found the movie so sad that I'm not sure I'm yet up to reading an in-depth analysis.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Wow, Strega. I started reading that, and I just don't have the time now, but it's pretty awesome so far. Who is that guy?
I do disagree with one thing, however (and it was very early on, and also minor). We aren't told that the Joker is behind the heist until he reveals himself. Viewers could assume that from the previews (since the Joker is in the movie), but anybody coming to the movie cold wouldn't know that.

Love the field notes. Although I must disagree with this:
Simply adding facial hair to Keanu can increase his Kean-u-meter by one to two points.

You mean sad as in a downer and not sad as in bad, right? If the former, I think that's why I don't have quite the energy to read it right now also. That, and (shameful admission) I HATE reading things that require serious critical attention on a computer. I have a similar problem with movies, TV episodes and such. I need a little distance to digest - words on some kind of paper, visions on a screen across the room, etc.
