'Objects In Space'


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?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

a few spoilery tidbits

I was gonna say! The thing about [SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE, THIS IS VERY SPOILERY] Dr. Manhattan replacing the exploding space squid -- The HELL?!?

That said, I can't wait to go home and watch the Japanese trailer.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

That is some awesome Watchmen-y goodness.

Sorry Tep - I figured most people following Watchmen gossip had already heard about that, so it didn't strike me as news until the second read.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The HELL?!?

You haven't heard about that? It is sad, indeed. I was feeling sad about it just yesterday after seeing a girl reading Watchmen in the seat in front of mine on the plane. I...hope it still works?

I think it's a good change, seriously. It fucks with the plot, sure, but on the plus side it DOESN'T INVOLVE A FUCKING PSYCHIC SQUID. I just can't imagine that ever working onscreen (in spite of how well it does on the page). I'm not entirely sure how the final I'm So Evil I Can Tell You My Plan And Still Get Away With It speech will work, but that strikes me as a relatively minor problem compared with asking the non-fanboy portion of the audience to accept the Deus Ex Psychic Squid.

No problem -- it doesn't spoil me in the "well, I wish THAT had been a surprise, but now I guess the movie is ruined!" sense. It's totally nothing more than a "The HELL?!?" reaction from me.

The HELL?!?

You haven't heard about that?

I hadn't really been following new about it, other than FOX winning the lawsuit. But, like I said, it's not a movie-ruining spoiler for me. Not at all. Just a bit of weirdness.

In response to Jess's whitefont -- that was pretty much my reaction the first time I read it -- a GIANT PSYCHIC SQUID WTF?!?

Compassionately intolerant

Jackie Earle Haley strikes me as someone I'd love to have over to supper. His conversation must be grand.
