I'm not sure anyone could GUESS the ending. I mean the general sketches of the ending seem apparent from the commercials I've seen, but the specifics slay me. Absolutely slay me.
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

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'm currently watching AMC, which is showing The Right Stuff. They've got John Glenn in orbit right now, which has one of the best uses of classical music in modern film (outside of Amadeus)--Holst's The Planets, the Mars and Jupiter movements.

Whoa, Kathy. You just sparked an amazing memory for me.
Good lord. Was is 30?! years ago?
I went to an outdoor concert at the Concord Pavilion, of science fiction 'movie music'. All the classic John Williams stuff...I think he was even there.
The highlight was Holst's, Mars, the bringer of war, Jupiter, the bringer of jocularity. We lay on our backs, watching falling stars. It really was a magic moment.
Plus, I got a great new vocabulary word out of it.
Good times, man, good times.

“Not dead yet!”
"What a heavenly light."
And until Ocean's 11, greatest use of Debussy in a film sequence.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Okay, at bonny's mention of that concert, I can't pass up the opportunity to post this. These are the guys who actually arranged and sang the medley. I'd recommend watching in high quality, but that's just me.

In a surprise ruling, a federal judge in Los Angeles said he intended to grant 20th Century Fox’s claim that it owns a copyright interest in the “Watchmen,” a movie shot by Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures and set for release in March.

I can't believe this. So now what will happen?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm guessing they'll enter into mediation to decide how to divide up the profits.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Just saw Slumdog Millionaire. Rather than repeat myself: two brown thumbs up!
