Okay, that kind of sucked. I'd forgotten how much I dislike Sam Mendes' films. Oh well! On to Happy-Go-Lucky next.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Oh, hah. After seeing Doubt my sister and I were talking and she was all "I really was more in the mood for feel-good kind of thing, you know, like Milk."
That story's only feel-good if you own stock in Hostess.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I read a review that said Benjamin Button was the movie Big Fish wanted to be, and that's so it. I agree with what people have said upthread. For most of the movie, it's just...stuff, but in the last twenty minutes or so, the point of the movie begins to hit home.

But does it have the magical visuals that Big Fish has? Yes, I want to see Benjamin Button, but Big Fish will always own my heart. Partially because of the visual style, but mostly because, well, I'm the daughter of a man who is a larger-than-life storyteller.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, not in the same way. But I do want to know how they did the en-youngening. When Cate Blanchett showed up, I literally thought it was a younger actress who looks just like her.
Anyway: Loved it! Perfect for the day! Made me cry, but I was also smiling through almost the whole move. And the people responsible for the look of everything should win awards.

Ooh! I saw the trailer at the theater this afternoon, and seeing it on tv just now reminded me: the Julia Roberts/Clive Owen spy/caper/good times movie! Am excited!

It looks SUPER fun. Except not for theodosia.
