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?

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.

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

Oh yes, the remix is great.

Christian Bale apologized, by the by. Seems sincere to me.

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

There's also a more new-wavey version that I prefer. Lost in the 80s, that's me.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have finally listened to the Christian Bale thing, and I have to say that while embarrassing, I certainly have been on the receiving end of similar things for much less of an infraction. It was unprofessional, but not shocking to me. And the DP is like practically second in command, and really shouldn't be walking through shots.

Always Anti-fascist!

There's a Bill O'Reilly "Fuck it, we'll do it live!" one too.

I love that one. It sounds like Bale and BillO are screaming at each other.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I saw Coraline tonight with TCG, Victor, and Thessally. I liked it and I loved parts of it, but I did not love the movie as a whole the way I wanted to. The 3D was awesome though, so if you can see it in 3D, you should.

Jilli warning, there is a bit at the end where the Other Mother turns into a spider-like thing. It is very brief and not very realistic looking, but I thought you might appreciate a warning.

For those wanting to take your kids, I don't think the movie is anywhere near as scary as the book.

sj, thank you for the warning, but I remembered that part from the book, so I was prepared.

I LOVED Coraline. It was absolutely gorgeous, and just the right level of creepy. Predictably, I want my very own batwinged terrier.

We saw it in 3D, and ... wow. That was the best use of 3D I've ever seen. We're going to see it again next week in plain ol' 2D, and it will be interesting to see how different an experience it is.
