I just got my dvd of Passion of Joan of Arc in the mail today--got something to watch this weekend!!
'Lessons'
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 just watched The Hangover. I don't understand what all the fuss is about. Apart from a few amusing lines here and there, it wasn't all that funny.
I was really appalled at what happened to the groom. I couldn't get over that and after I learned where he was the whole time, that cast a shadow over the rest of the movie. I mean, damn.
I nodded off during important plot development, so I'm not really sure what happened to him, and I didn't care enough to rewind. The tone of the movie was completely not what I was expecting. I thought it would be more of a wacky romp, and instead it was sort of dull.
I just got back from Iron Man 2, which was not quite as good as the first one, but did contain a scene where RDJ builds a particle accelerator by hand, with his shirt off.
So that was all right.
Could I go see Iron Man 2 if I still haven't seen Iron Man 1 and know nothing about the story from the comics?
I think all you need to know is that Tony Stark is Iron Man.
There, you're all caught up.
SPOILER!
Jess, that's all I needed to hear. (I mean, I would have seen it anyway, but now I feel certain I'll dig it.)
I am so happy to see RDJ back on top again. Because it was getting to the point for a while where I felt like I had to defend my continued rooting for the guy. I would say that it makes me proud, but that kind of would imply that he'd give a shit, wouldn't it? And I'm not*that* kind of fangirl.
