Buffy ,'Potential'
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.
So I ordered a bunch of DVDs for my class from a Korean vendor on eBay. I've done this before and had nothing but good experiences so far, and it's the only way to get some pretty rare films at a reasonable price.
Unfortunately this time I ordered "Zero de Conduite" and received "Germany Year Zero". Now the seller is insisting that they are the same movie. Oh dear....
still the best(and only) RPF i've ever read.
Oh, man, that was so much fun.

It was very entertaining!
Did we know that Roland Emmerich is filming a version of Isaac Asimov's Foundation? Saddest news I've heard all day.
I can still enjoy watching Cruise in Inteview with the Vampire but perhaps it's that the role of a vain, predatory monster that's desperate to maintain relevance to changing times by latching on to his younger victims and building a pseudo-family with them doesn't conflict that much with my off-camera impression of him.

I do now. Meh. Would that this were a reality (see the next two comics for a continuation): [link]
AV Club agrees with Jessica, raves about Mission Impossible (mostly about how awesome Brad Bird can direct an action scene) and is meh about Sherlock Holmes.
Guess I'll go see Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
Ebert liked both of them, gave both of them 3.5 starts, but did seem especially blown away by a particular skyscraper-themed scene in MI.
I can't imagine seeing Tom Cruise in anything again. Sherlock Holmes kind of looks like Spiderman 3 in the trailers, in the sense that it looks like it has everything but the kitchen sink in it...I'll probably see it over the holidays, though.

That sequence was pretty spectacular.
