I kept hearing about the "running away from frost" and the "terrible CGI wolves" and then I watched the movie (on TNT on a plane, actually) and I discovered that people were not exaggerating. I think maybe I thought the running away from frost was kinda cool (no pun intended), but the wolves were definitely terrible and pointless.
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Now I'm picturing a movie with velociraptors on an airship.
We should write this. We're Buffistas -- if the Reddit folks can get a movie deal for basically fanficcing a Harry Turtledove novel, why can't we get a screenplay out of mashing up Jurassic Park and the Hindenburg?

Take, for example, the upcoming John Cusack film The Raven. Edgar Allan Poe! Fights Crime! Nothing whatsoever to do with reality, it's going to be as anachronistic as all get out. But it's a Victorian-ish horror movie! With pretty costumes and ooooh spooky atmosphere! I can't wait. I will giggle delightedly all the way through.
Why have I not known about this movie before now?!? I must see this.

Because books.
I am all over The Raven. That and the Daniel Radcliffe one, The Woman in Black.

Twin Peaks FAQ
Ah, thank you! I think I have run across that site before but never made it into the meatier parts of the FAQ.
The FAQ question about what happened to Josie amuses me -- namedropping ahead but Harley Peyton emailed me once (bananas!) because I'd made a joke about that, and he basically said that the writers were as bewildered by her end as the viewers.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Not that I claim to speak for all Shakespeare scholars, but I'm pretty sure they've been annoyed for years too.
Yes, this. Although that said I'm not offended by a film capitalizing on that concept.

Ah ha ha ha ha! Brilliant idea! But what would we call it? Velociraptors on an Airship just doesn't have the right ring to it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
DH and I saw a fantastic movie last night - The Artist. It's a black & white silent film (mostly) about a silent film actor and an up-and-coming actress in the age of the talkie. Very much in the vein of Sunset Boulevard, Singing In The Rain, etc, and utterly utterly fabulous.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
