I saw Dear White People last weekend. It was entertaining and creative, although as I am not a person of color I have no idea how accurately it represents the Ivy League experience for such students.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

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.

Not sure where to post a short indy web film about Harry Potter fans playing wizard rock. I'll try here: [link]
It's adorable, 20 minutes long, and stars the girl who played Lydia in the Lizzie Bennett Diaries.

So, I have been craving Plunkett and McLeane for years now.
It used to turn up on IFC or Sundance (can't remember which but I think it was IFC). Of course, fucking IFC now has commercials.
Signed, still remembers when Bravo was a no-commercials, arts and really, really interesting unedited movies channel. No, not still bitter about that, no sir (liar).

I believe that if the leap of faith had been given, he would have been true. Like, I totally would have been happy if Fanny had married him.
Haven't read the book, so I can't speak to Burrell's point. But as played by Nivola, I felt like he sincerely thought that he WANTED to be a better man, but I was unconvinced that he would last. I felt like if they married they would have had at best a couple/few months of happiness before he broke her heart in some way. (As best I recall, haven't seen it for a few years. Gotta go back to Amazon and pull the trigger on my cart since the DVD's on sale - or was a few days ago).

Holy crap, so Amazon has Plunkett & MacLeane new for $55! And the used? $30. I don't know if this itch is that essential to scratch at that price. Why no rentals?!?

Did you try that site that tommyrot was reccing yesterday? I can't access it from this computer, so I don't know if it's there or not, but maybe.
Or ebay or half.com to buy (also not accessible from here) - that's how I got an old out of print Leslie Caron movie without paying a mint for it.
