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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Between Prick Up Your Ears, Romeo Is Bleeding, True Romance, and Dracula, I was fairly confident that Oldman's range encompasses just about anything ever conceived by a screenwriter.

True dat. I just hadn't seen him in much for a while, and was worried if he'd kept his mad acting skills in shape. Was HP&PoA before or after BB? Because if it was after, I think the last thing I'd seen him in was Lost In Space and nuff said.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Note to oldies fans: Tomorrow night at 10 Eastern, TCM is showing Bombshell. In which Jean Harlow throws the definitive screen temper tantrum.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I was skimming the Dark Knight dvd, because I ain't in the mood for torture just yet, and hit a couple of Batman scenes where Christian Bale's batvoice is hi-sterically bad and unintelligible and I just flashed onto that awesome youtube mockery of it, which made me laugh even harder.

move out and draw fire

Yeah, it was weird and off-putting in a movie where the other effects were "real" to have the batvoice So oddly CG enhanced.

Is Alfred's background with the SAS as presented in the movie canon?

Actually, I believe that in comics canon, Alfred was MI-6.

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

9 (original animated short). It's about ten minutes long.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I also seem to recall mention that the fire f/x in LotR was supposed to be noteworthy.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I thought the Balrog was excellent, the Eye not so much.

It did crack me up at the end when its tower was collapsing and it started shifting around everywhere. "Whuh-oh! Who pushed the down button?"
