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?

WALL*E/EVE = John/Aeryn, if John were a DRD and Aeryn were an iPhone. So yeah, pretty much my OT OTP.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

The end credits show the people living in the escape pods

I totally didn't notice that! (Obviously.) I was only looking for Wall*E and Eve in the end credits.

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

So I saw One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest last night. I thought it was kind of boring, and there seemed to be very little narrative drive. And I didn't think Nurse Ratched was all that bad; she just seemed to be doing her job most of the time, not abusing her power or anything like that. It was interesting to see several famous actors so young, though. Hardly recognized them!

I guess I've seen so many TV/movie mental institutions made since then that the Big One seems sort of blah in comparison.

"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

I went to see My Bloody Valentine last night. Ah, the Stupid burns! Apparently, in this movie's setting, a copycat serial killer can run wild in a town that previously had a 22-victim massacre and instead of state police and feds swooping in, the investigation is left in the hands of its Mayberry-esque 3-person police department headed by an angry frat boy. There's no curfew, no street patrols or checkpoints, no common-sense evacuation of town residents from the ongoing murder spree zone, and a woman who's escaped an attack by the clairvoyant teleporting attacker is just fine leaving her kid at home with the maid/nanny (that her career as a grocery store manager allows her to hire how, exactly?) without even calling to check on him.

Throughout all the above, my mantra was that this flick earned its right to exist by giving Jensen Ackles the opportunity to clock Kerr Smith in the head with a pickaxe.

I thought it was rather fun - cheesey but fun. Of course, it could have been better in so many ways. I hope JA gets some actual good movie roles eventually.

What, besides Dawson's Creek, could I have seen Kerr Smith in? He looked so familiar and I never watched DC.

He was on Charmed for a while, and in Final Destination.

Of course, if you've seen Julian McMahon in anything that might also explain why he looks familiar.

I must not have been watching Charmed when he was in it. . . or at least I don't think I was - I stopped before Shannon Doherty left. Well, watching regularly - I may have watched sporadically after that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

he was in A LOT of Charmed in Shannon's last season.

Wow. I really don't remember Charmed at all. Perhaps I've blocked it. .. wait - I think I had stopped watching it before then.

Whew. (Because I've never seen her last episode and I just remembered that.)

No, it was McMahon that was on Charmed in Doherty's last season. Smith didn't join the cast until its last season (7th?).

PS: Sumi, "All Hell Breaks Loose" is probably the best episode ever of that series. Might be worth a look-see.
