Saw The Reader last night. It was actually more compelling than I thought it would be. It is still sort of haunting me.
I also Netflixed Wanted and can certainly see why it was nominated for sound. Otherwise whack as a film, but, hey, Terence Stamp.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I love Wanted in many different ways. The only thing that bugs me about it is why can't Wesley just be Scottish?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
The whole Christian Bale profanity-riffic rant was a bit listen-from-the-hall for me, but someone went and made a freakin' techno dance remix from the ranting (like, within a day of this getting out) which is seriously the best thing ever. Hella danceable, too. [link]
I particular dig the totally random Barbara Streisand and the fuck-off-off going on between her and Bale.
