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.

A quick google tells me it's "But kill me, Navarre,..."

That makes sense, but it sure doesn't sound like it when Wood says it!

Oh, and the other thing that doesn't quite fit for me is when Phillipe is trying to get the priest off of the grate in the chapel at the end and he's poking the guy's feet with his knife. The priest is rather disgusted when he says, "Rats!" to his fellow clergyman, who is equally grossed out. I'd think that they'd be used to rats, considering the time they're living in.

Yeah, but rats nibbling on your toes is always gross.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

One thing that still bothers me is when the ice gives way and first we see the poor wolf scrambling pathetically to get out and failing, and then Matthew Broderick in the water with a panicking canine scrambling all over him. They were out in real nature, giant mountains, giant frozen lake, how was any of that safe?! I once had a little American Eskimo that would go swimming, but would always want to climb on me or whomever else was near and tear us to shreds just swimming near us, let alone trying to sit on our heads.

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

eep! (from the imdb trivia page)

In one scene, Navarre tells Philippe to ride his horse to Imperius' castle and slaps the horse's rear to make it ride. However, the first time the scene was filmed, Rutger Hauer (Navarre) slapped the horse too hard and it took off over the hill and off into the horizon. The horse was too powerful for Matthew Broderick to stop, so all everyone could do was sit and wait for him to come back.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Well, Rutger has always been...robust. A TVGuide reporter who interviewed him for Escape from Stobivor described him merely walking across the compound, looking like he was stamping out tarantulas. That's how I always think of Hauer--stamping out tarantulas.

Hey. New board.

Prospect Park, actually.

... I was at the same theater, assuming you mean the Pavilion on the west side of the park. Did you see the 2 pm showing? I don't remember anybody yelling about babies, though I do vaguely remember a baby.

I wasn't really paying attention to anything but the screen, though. Movie so good.

Hey. New board.

Ah, I was there on Saturday.

Oh, the unknown crossings that occur in NYC.

I really like that theater. I saw Slumdog Millionaire there too. I'll kind of miss it when the GF moves out of Park Slope.

Escape from Stobivor

Actually, it's Sobibor--seeing that TV movie got me into researching the Operation Reinhard death camps. The book the movie was based on is really excellent, BTW.

(Schlomo, the young goldsmith, escaped, joined the partisans, then moved to Brazil after the war. In his interview with the author, it is implied that he had something to do with the fact that one of the camp's head honchos, who had been arrested in Brazil in the 1960s but avoided extradition, died violently soon after his release from prison. Leon, the revolt leader played by Alan Arkin, was murdered in a pogrom and didn't live to VE day. The Soviet POW played by Rutger made it back to Russia only to be sent to the gulag simply for surviving the Germans.)
