That would be amazing
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
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.

Our wings are not tired.
That would be quite the project. The number of films mentioned in thread that I have yet to see is considerable. Retirement, or say recovering from leg surgery might be required to carve out that time.
I did have this fantasy that I could catch up on reading or movie watching when I was recovering from foot surgery. Alas, my pain killer fuzzed brain couldn't focus enough. UNFAIR.

I assume this project would include reporting here on what you watch and so forth

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Good.
I would not be surprised if they (as the author surmises) quietly drop the idea later. (Edited because autocorrect is stupid.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
RIP, Burt Reynolds.
Eastbound and down.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Does anyone else remember "Semi-Tough"? if I remember correctly, it's the one that had parodies of various self-help/self-improvement movements. Robert Preston "creepin" around his office ....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
RIP, Mr. Reynolds. If you see my mom up there in heaven, say hello, would you? She liked you a lot. So did I.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
> Does anyone else remember "Semi-Tough"?
Yep. Read the book too. Lost all respect for anything football-related.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Dispatch from TIFF. The festival so far has been a mixed bag, but an interesting one. The screening I had the most fun in so far was with Steve McQueen's Widows, which is a real barn-burner. It's a heist movie in structure but has all kinds of personal and political complexities adding dimensions to it. The dialog is great and the acting is fantastic. Viola Davis spends a bulk of her screen time holding an adorable puppy, while not losing an ounce of her badassery. It's gonna go over like gangbusters when it opens.
This morning was Barry Jenkins' If Beale Street Could Talk, which is as ravishing as the trailer promised. I don't think it is quite as soul stirring as Moonlight (a tall order) but I liked it very much.
More later when I am not on the phone.
