mmmmm Rachel McAdams. She can handcuff me to the bed anytime.
I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Am sad. Am completely enamoured of the Where the Wild Things Are trailer, downloaded the Arcade Fire song "Wake Up", only to find it less without the imagery. Finally compare the two (trailer and album song) and discover that they're different. Did some more digging, found that Arcade Fire re-recorded "Wake Up" specifically for the trailer/movie. Hmm... am I really gonna have to wait for the movie and soundtrack to come out to get down with my grabby hands? Phooey.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

... the words are there, but sense-making they are not. t /Arcade Fire likes carrots But I'm probably the only one here to whom "Where the Wild Things Are" doesn't mean anything except as an embarrassingly bad S4 Buffy episode, even after watching the trailer.
As for Julia Roberts, I'm been feeling v. mellow toward her ever since I watched Duplicity, which I adored to bits. She more than holds her own against Clive Owen (and actually kinda pwns him for most of the movie), which is not an easy feat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently he made her cry during Closer. That would make it easier for me to watch Duplicity, because I hate like that.

I really like the song, but it doesn't give me the chills and joy that the trailer version does. But this is probably a book vs. movie debate. Depends on which you saw/read/heard first. Album version is much harder, whereas trailer version is much more whimsical and joyous and more plunky piano. Good news: found new band to love!

This tragedy is easily remedied. Hie thee to a library or book store. Your life will be richer for it.

There's a very chaotic live version of Wake Up in this video. It starts about halfway through, but you should really watch them do Neon Bible in a freight elevator first. It's amazing.

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

I have already made the purchase of WTWTA, in anticipation of the lowercase tea. Along with a few Dr Seuss works and "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus".
