'Dirty Girls'
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.

I knew you knew what I meant. And you did.
Hey, they're in production for the new Daniel Craig James Bond movie! About fucking time.
It's titled: Skyfall.
Ralph Fiennes is in it, as is Helen McCrory (aka, Narcissa Malfoy). On that note, did you all know that Michael Gambon was offered the role back in the sixties after Sean Connery left? He turned it down telling the producers he couldn't do the shirtless scenes as he "had tits like your granny."

Peter Jackson Hobbit blog on 3D. Completely fascinating 11 minutes that draws you back into the level of detail, and makes me sad because the DVDs (BluRays) for this are not going to be enough for the experience. But, oh god, I can't wait for December 2012. Just hearing the strains of music made my heart leap!
They're fucking hand drawing concept art in 3D, two people at a time.
I know!!!
Loved that.
For reasons of whatever, I've been reading a Salon article about The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and I'm struck by what the screenwriter said:
“I don’t believe in research. You have to tell a story in a movie. Sometimes the facts disturb all that. I was asked to adapt, and that was what I decided to do.”
Don't you at least have to do the research so you know what you're adapting? Maybe life is actually a really good story--go on, check it out.
