I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am pretty sure they also already remade it for TV.

Yep. In 1995 with Jason Alexander and Vaness Williams [link]

What's the one where Maureen O'Hara is John Wayne's ex and she sends him after his grandson who has been kidnapped? That one's fun.

"Big Jake McCanless? I heard you was dead!"
"I'm gonna shoot the next man who says that."

Simon Pegg: Don't buy my DVD.

ROBERT WEIDE, the director of the film, How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, is encouraging fans to bypass the Region 1 (North America) DVD of the film when it's released in February, and suggests they consider purchasing the Region 2 (U.K./Europe) DVD when it's released on March 16. The comedy stars Simon Pegg, Kirsten Dunst, Jeff Bridges, Gillian Anderson, Danny Huston, and Megan Fox.

The reason, says Weide, is simple. "Simon and I worked very hard to make sure the DVD would be packed with bonus material. The British distributors (Paramount) solicited our input and included all of the extras. Sadly, the American distributors (MGM/Fox) locked us out of the process and managed to leave off most of the bonus material."

Ann, that's a ferret.

I saw the '95 version of Bye Bye Birdie. During the '90s, ABC developed a habit of remaking an old musical each season. Birdie is worth seeing if you happen to run across it -- Vanessa Williams does a bang-up job as Rose -- but it doesn't compare with the original. Now, Bette Midler in ABC's remake of Gypsy....

“Not dead yet!”

Bette was Mama Rose.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I don't know if I'd say Bette was better than Rosalind Russell, but she certainly made it a contest.

“Not dead yet!”

I think it's safe to say she was the closest we're ever going to get in a modern incarnation.

And as much as I loved Rosalind as Mama Rose, her iconic role for me is Auntie Mame.

God, I'm going to have to watch that-- it's been an age.

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

SEAN!

I just watched the 9 trailer! SQUEEEEEEEEEEE.

Also, I saw that back when it was an animated short! There was no dialogue or plot at that point, but it was definitely the same movie. I liked it back then too.
