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.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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?
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
*Nothing* from Lord of the Rings made it in?

I think I'd have dropped the scorpion monster from Howard the Duck in favor of the cave troll from Fellowship of the Ring. That's the first example of a fully CGI humanoid figure I recall interacting believably with live-action figures.

Didn't they have a number of Weta-related revolutions?
Just watched The Illusionist and disliked Eisenheim more than either of The Prestige's protagonists. I think we were supposed to be on his side. Also, too much f/x, although I understand not near as much as I initially thought. I'd like to know how little.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just watched Shallow Grave. It was certainly interesting to see the Ninth Doctor ten years younger. And...not being anything like the Doctor.
I kind of feel bad about everything now, though.

Ooooh! I didn't know it had been a short previously. I just saw the "9" poster at Apple Trailers, and went "9? What the hell is 9?" and clicked on it. I was glad I did. They had me at post-apocalyptic, and everything after that was cream.

The short was also called 9, so if it's anywhere online it should be pretty easy to find. I think it was up for an Oscar or something (since that's almost the only way non-Pixar shorts make it into theatres).
