Buffistas

Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was going to bitch that The Book of Eli had flown entirely under my radar (I just bumped into the trailer doing my periodic Apple TV trailer review), but then I realised I've had pics of Denzel up on one of my sites from it since September. I just never knew where they'd come from.

So I'm back around to bitching. Have I just been skipping the ads on TiVo? The trailer totally looks like something I'd rewind for, Mila Kunis notwithstanding. Or is it flying close to the ground because it's supposed to be a turkey (I haven't seen much analysis of it, bar one site that called it Denzel's version of The Postman, which isn't good--but they sounded very amused with themselves)?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Given that they're releasing it in January, it doesn't seem like a good sign.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If pics from it have been available since September, that's especially not a good sign.

move out and draw fire

I get the Avatar hate from that article, but if you approach it like it's a pulp story from the 1930s - 1950s, it's actually stunningly fair to women. They have agency, and are not in refrigerators.

French long trailer for Inception.

It occurs to me that Christopher Nolan may supplant Ang Lee for the position of my favourite director. Until he makes a Hulk- shaped misstep.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Intriguing NYT review on Police, Adjective - a Romanian crime procedural with an emphasis on grammar.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh dear. It's like they made that movie just for Buffistas....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Romanian grammar is a bitch. It's the only language that has retained Latin conjugation.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita, I am SO looking forward to "Inception." I just can't stand it. Nothing has been exciting to me as far as new movie releases in months. I've enjoyed movies I've seen, but nothing that gave me that "I'm going to midnight show, fuck it" kind of feeling.

brillig

Finally saw a trailer for "Book of Eli." Looks intriguing.
