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.

The toy battle in Toys makes me sob. You know that the soldiers in war movies aren't being killed, but it's OK to blow up a teddy bear. And, god, the one dancing toy circling aimlessly around the wreckage of its partner as the tinny music plays . . .
And I thought The Fisher King was brilliant.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I have never seen Old Yeller, Red Ferns or Yearling...for all the reasons mentioned.
Same here. I don't feel I need to put myself through that, for movies that I probably won't be that interested in anyway.
Besides, if I feel that I need to watch a movie and cry, I've got loads of other choices. Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish, Lilo and Stitch ...
(I LOVE Big Fish. It's one of my favorite movies ever. But I don't watch it very often, because it turns me into a weepy mess.)

Lilo and Stitch is a safe cry-trigger because it ends well. So I can wallow in emotion knowing I'll get to snicker and smile as I leave the theater, instead of in a melancholy haze. I don't drink enough absinthe to properly appreciate melancholy hazes.

Yep, same for me. And the same goes for Big Fish.
I don't drink enough absinthe to properly appreciate melancholy hazes.
I suppose I do, but I still don't really appreciate melancholy hazes.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Confession: Bolt made me weepy. I knew I was being manipulated, damn it, and I still got weepy.
But The Boy did, too, so it was okay.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Lilo & Stitch, on my list of all time favorites.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, what Oscar-ish movie should I see tomorrow? Benjamin Button? Doubt? Revolutionary Road? Something else?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I really like the stage show of Doubt, and they seems to be cleaving closely to it. It is not, however, happy-fun or terribly uplifting.
