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.
"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?
I watched Gran Torino last night. LOVED it. it was a lot funnier than i expected.
I believe that's Bridget Jones's Diary, Steph.
I believe that's Bridget Jones's Diary, Steph.
Yep.
Just rewatched it for the pretty that is Colin Firth and some of the funniest writing. And the warm squishies from the end.
Oh. I read the book, but didn't see the movie. I get hives watching RZ. Not even Ewan McGregor and David Hyde Pierce overcame her squinty face and annoying voice to make me like Down with Love (which is, otherwise, big campy fun, because the actors are so obviously having fun with the conventions of the time).
Huh, I was just thinking yesterday about how RZ ruined that movie.
Because you are very, very smart.
I get hives watching RZ.
Pretty much ditto.
Huh, I was just thinking yesterday about how RZ ruined that movie.
Wasn't thinking about it yesterday, but yes. This. Although I absolutely loved Sarah Paulson as her best friend.
I will say, however, she really was a perfect choice as Bridget. She captured all the painful insecurity of the character beautifully. And was the least squinty-eyed that I've ever seen her.
