Saw Clash of the Titans, that was definitely worth the dollar movie price. A nice quest in an impressive landscape. And I liked Io.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

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.

re: silent movies, Greed is fantastically good.

I think we're going to see A-Team tonight. I just want fun, silly, plotless, etc. Plus Bradley Cooper shirtless, which I am not mentioning to The Boy.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm going tonight, too. Thanks to the rec, Sean!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

For silent films, I love The Passion of Joan of Arc, which had a great print-discovery story. The original cut was lost in a fire soon after it was premiered, so the director put together another version from alternate takes, but he was never satisfied with this inferior version. Then, in 1981, an almost-complete print of the original version was found in the closet of an Oslo mental hospital.

And now it looks like we'll see a matinee tomorrow, as we're wrangling with the shower curtain (it's a whole-shower enclosure ring for a claw-foot tub) and new shower caddy. Projects NEVER go as quickly as you expect them to.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I don't think Bradley Cooper is in any way attractive...more for y'all, I suppose.

move out and draw fire
I just watched The Great Race. I know, I know, but I didn't watch TV as a kid, which is the only place I would've been able to see it. And honestly, other than Fate's house, I would've hated it as a kid.
So, random thoughts: I'd assumed that I'd gotten most of it via cultural osmosis. Not even close. I want Fate's house, inside and out. I want most of Natalie Wood's costumes. Jack Lemmon and Kevin Kline share an uncanny resemblance.
Funnily, it was actually a little strenuous to watch, like watching a foreign film, where you have to make a lot more effort to grok the cultural and social underpinnings. We just don't make movies anymore with cartoon violence, of the Roadrunner/Coyote sort.
I started to wonder what a remake would be like, with modern steampunk sensibilities, credits by David Malki, etc....then I realized Jim Carrey would be cast as Professor Fate, and I quit thinking about it.
It would make a fun Xbox game though. Lego Great Race?
