Buffy ,'Chosen'
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 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.
"What a heavenly light."
And until Ocean's 11, greatest use of Debussy in a film sequence.
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.

I can't believe this. So now what will happen?
I'm guessing they'll enter into mediation to decide how to divide up the profits.
Just saw Slumdog Millionaire. Rather than repeat myself: two brown thumbs up!
"Wait a minute. Nice boys don't kiss like that."
"Oh yes they fucking do."
Some of the best closing lines for a movie ever.
What movie? Am I a pop-culture dolt for not recognizing it?
