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.

Compassionately intolerant

apparently "assault" in this context refers to people yelling obscenities.

Assault is a very mixy term. Technically*, the assault is the thrreat of violence, or in this case 'verbal violence' which creates fear or disturbs one's peace. Battery is the actual punch.

Yeah, I'm pretty much with Beverly. I'm very amused by the rant, but if this is a scandal then the recession must have hit the scandal-mongering industry. Because "some actors are temperamental and self-absorbed" seems about as shocking as "some screenwriters are bitter and frustrated."

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

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

From another board: "I can't wait until Bale and Werner Herzog work together."

Um, they already did (quite well in fact - I just saw Rescue Dawn this past weekend). Was that the joke? Or was the poster uninformed?

"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

Sounds like they were busting on Herzog's infamous run-ins with Klaus Kinski. Didn't one of them pull a gun on the other during one of their movie shoots?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Herzog claims that never happened.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Rage looks interesting, for a number of reasons.

Fay, that link went down, but: Jude Law as tranvestite supermodel "Minx" in Rage.
