I'm getting a Forbidden message, Matt. But unless she got all her wonderful baby-fat back and her face is soft and round again instead of long and tight, it ain't the same.

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.

I love the creepy woodcutter's wife! The way she just hummed and walked with her toes pointing out like she was dancing.
And Francesco, he was alive and named for all of two seconds, and I still loved the guy for rising above the reign of terror to acknowledge an old friend.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We took Emeline to see Coraline today. It was a bit of a clusterfuck.
We warned Em that it might be a bit scary, to which she said, "Not to me!!" We get our snacks and sit down. The previews start. They show the previews for: Clutch 2, The Haunting in Connecticut, and a couple of other R rated movies. I raised an eyebrow, escpecially when Emeline crawled into my lap on the verge of crying during the trailer for Haunting in Connecticut, but didn't think anything of it.
We put our 3-D glasses on and the movie started.
Except the projectionist hit the wrong button. (S)he started MY BLOODY VALENTINE. I've never seen parents running out of a theater so quickly in all my life. It was really kind of funny.
But, they got it fixed, Coarline was watched and Em loved it. She wants to go as Coraline for Halloween. Which, I can totally get behind, but I need to find a way to make the Other Mother's gray polka dot dress with the fuschia bustle thingie.
But the movie was WONDERFUL. Just marvelous and beautiful. Now I need to read the book.

Heh, I've had that happen.
Took Emmett to see an innocuous animated movie with an audience filled with wee kids. Movie is late to start, waiting waiting, lights dim and it comes up....Right in the torture scene of Mission Impossible (2? with Philip Seymour Hoffmann).
Screaming, mayhem, crying toddlers, running for the doors...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ha, Aims! But that means you missed the 3-D trailers! Aw. I saw Coraline today too.

No R-rated movies for the Coraline previews -- we got one for Monsters Vs. Aliens, which does look promising. And I heard no crying children during the movie itself, but then Bay Staters are tough, sensible folk who either raise brave children or leave the easily-scared ones home.

My theater had both a crying baby, and then other people yelling at the parents to take the baby outside.
