Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

Because books.

I took Sara to Coraline in 3D, and it was wonderful! She's just five, but she was fine -- I was actually more concerned with the 3D aspect freaking her out, but it really just added incredible depth. So gorgeously done. LOVED.

I had no idea 3D movies don't qualify for matinee prices (at least at that theater), which was an unpleasant surprise. Then we walked into the theater and were hit by this awful, acrid smell. I had a headache by the time we left, and I guess someone complained -- we walked out to find two managers waiting with free passes for everyone! (Apparently there was a fire a few days ago in the food court. No clue.) And the tickets are good for adult seats, any show ... *except* a 3D show, which I found sort of ironic. Still, that was a nice surprise.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

We are watching Excalibur. It's...kind of stupid.

Enjoyed Coraline, though, especially all the weird scenic touches.

'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"

The garden set was 50 feet long! Which would be like a stadium set for human actors!

David, you misspelled "wonderfully, gloriously stupid." So fantastically cheesy.

D'OH! I mistake Hec and Dana a lot when skimming.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

HA.

Okay, it's actually really stupid. Nicol Williamson must have had a hell of a stomachache after he finished chewing all that scenery.

Helen Mirren, almost thirty years ago, still fucking gorgeous.

It's incredibly bad, which is probably why I love it so much.

Aw, c'mon. It's gorgeous, it's got a few choice "oh! it's a young..." bits of casting, and Boorman's visionary insanity in full force. I think "bad" or "good" are irrelevant concepts here.

Granted, I can also happily watch Exorcist II: The Heretic and Hell in the Pacific. Zardoz? NSM, unless I'm REALLY in the mood for the full unhinged.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

We are watching Excalibur. It's...kind of stupid.

Oh yards of yes. And I lurved this movie as a Freshman/Sophomore in high school. I can still recite the spell to bring the dragon's breath. A few years ago I shelled out $11 for the DVD thinking it would rock so hard. Not quite as much of a let down as 60s era Spider-Man but surely worse than The Prince of Pennsylvania.

Helen Mirren, almost thirty years ago, still fucking gorgeous.

Oh noes you mean I missed Helen Mirren? I guess I'll have to watch it again & try to get my $11 worth.

So... does anybody know if Ladyhawke still rocks?
