I am with Jessica and Hec on Match Point. I liked it. I'm glad I saw it. I don't ever need to see it again. I am also with Jessica on Role Models. I enjoyed it immensely and recommend it. I think I liked it more than I Love You, Man and Adventureland in terms of Movies Made With All Those Apatow Types In The Last Year. (Did Zack and Miri Make a Porno come out in the last year? Because I liked it a lot, too. Though I'm not sure it's fair to put it in that category just for Rogen, since Smith has been making movies since long before Apatow hit the scene.)
Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.
Buffy: Just how I remember it.

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.

Hey. New board.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Gradually catching up after taking a week off work and not checking the board during that time....
I'd like to nominate The Jane Austen Book Club for Most Buffista Moment in a Movie, Ever. The movie follows the lives of six people who form a book club devoted entirely to Jane Austen's works. The Moment involves the male member of the club who contrasts an Austen plot to a Star Wars movie.
Marc Blucas also has a smallish role, but that doesn't make the movie particularly Buffista.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I liked the film, except that I was a bit disgruntled they aged everybody down by about a decade. And Hugh Dancy's character was supposed to have been an average-looking guy in his early 40's, not a curly-mopped, merry-eyed crumpet with a biker's body (which... OK, I didn't mind as much because Dancy was ADORABLE. It didn't hurt that the first words out of his mouth was "... are you here for the Buffy convention?")

"... are you here for the Buffy convention?"
I'd forgotten that bit. Which shouldn't have been forgotten, if only because of the "invisible" vampires.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I'll post this here, since the exhibit is mostly movie-based: Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry has the world premiere of the new Harry Potter traveling exhibit opening now, running through September!
The article is written by a complete fangirl, and she makes it sound very cool. Although I don't know if it's $18 cool (cost of the exhibit), but the exhibit's gift shop sounds like it might be worth it--it's designed like Diagon Alley.

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

The Ferris Beuller Fight Club Theory
This would only work if Cameron was the narrator. Since it's Beuller talking to through the fourth wall, not so much. Plus, I hate FBDO with the fiery heat of a thousand suns, so I'm EXTREMELY disinclined to give any coolness points in it's favor.

Always Anti-fascist!
Really? I like it a lot, though I saw it about four years after everybody told me it ruled. Maybe I passed out in the Baskin Robbins.

(Um, yeah, I liked it a lot. No idea what purists will think, but as a casual fan I thought it COMPLETELY ROCKED.)

Excellent news, Jess! Not a purist (though I know WAY too much geekery from it), so I'm totally psyched. They kinda had me at the previews, though.
