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.

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

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

I agree. I find all of these fan videos/audio of Bale screaming to be extremely funny. I cannot get enough of them. I think someone needs to do a Al Pacino/Bale one. That would likely have me in fits.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

sj, where did you see it? I'm prepared to drive a ways to ensure a 3D experience....

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

How realistic are the rats in Coraline? I want to see it, but I'm really rat-phobic.

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

Theo - both Boston Common and Fenway are showing it in 3-D. So is Danvers if you want the 'burbs.

I think I'm taking Friday the 13th off (both of them!), so I'd probably catch it at a matinee then at one of those three places.

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

Theo, I saw it in Millbury.

The rats were more adorable than realistic imho.

"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

Milk was actually better than I expected it to be. I've had a dim view of Penn's acting in the past, but he definitely earned his Oscar nom with this.

If Dan White were a fictional character I'd say he was too one-dimensionally villainous, but what with the blaming his double homicide on Hostess® I think the movie treats him with just about the amount of respect and sympathy he deserved.

Josh Brolin's resemblance to David Boreanaz continues to unnerve me. Haven't seen MILK yet, but in the stills I've seen, he looks like DB with bad 70s hair, though not as bad as the 70s hair DB did do on ANGEL.

He's aged out of some of the resemblance, but back in the 90s it was frightening.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I saw "The Class" last night, which i highly recommend. Beautifully made and the actors playing the students were incredible.
