Re Let The Right One In, it didn't occur to me until after the movie was over that Hakan had met Eli when he was Oskar's age too, and that he wasn't her first either. Eli's been doing this a long time.
Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions.

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?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
"THIS is ALL stop-motion??? Holy shit!!!"
Well, some of it was CG.
Okay, the mouse circus was specifically what blew my mind, thinking it was all stop-motion.

Because books.
I'm just sitting over here wondering (from B'cracy) why people hate Se7en. I loved it.

Oooh, I concur with those assessments. And it's interesting to see them bar charted.

Punishingly Intricate

Honestly, I don't remember a lot of it other than being really, really pissed that the wife was killed offscreen without being given a chance to defend herself.
She was just an object not a human being. It infuriated me.

Se7en was overwritten and overdirected and BORING.
I'm glad it didn't cause me to write Fincher off completely, though - he redeemed himself a billion times over with Fight Club.

I love Se7en, although it never fails to send me into a major funk after watching. As for the ending, I appreciate that we were along for the dawning realization of horror with Brad Pitt's character. I don't see why it was necessary to show her final moments. I can imagine, but I disagree (with my imagination).

I hated Se7en, too, although I can barely remember why. I hate everything Fincher's done, although I still haven't seen Zodiac.

the Jake Gyllenhal Zodiac? Hated. Long, structureless, boring. It's like the "unabridged" Princess Bride, complete with hat-packing and random digressions into Florinese history.
