Buffistas

Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

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.

After dithering a bit, I signed up for Criterion Channel earlier today -- paid for the whole year in advance.

I celebrated my better-than-expected tax-number-crunching results by biting that bullet.

This post brought to you by the fact that I have about a dozen movies checked out the library right now but nothing I want watch.

So I found out when I almost blinded Dana on my very first Buffista post.

"My eyes!" she cried out.

I feel this.

I started Raging Bull. stopped after 10 min. I started Airport. stopped after about 12 min. I started The Emigrants. stopped after about 20 min.

I have from the Library: An Unmarried Woman, Up in the Air, and Sideways.

Barring one scene, I like Sideways quite a bit. But I have a certain fondness for Solvang in particular (and wine in general) so that may play a role. I remember liking Up in the Air when I saw it in theaters, but I wouldn't think it has aged well.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I saw Airport a number of years ago. I didn't think it was great moviemaking, but I enjoyed it. Owes more to older movies (maybe '50s soap opera types like Imitation of Life, Peyton Place) than to anything that was New when it was made.

Big multi-plot, cast of thousands disaster movies were all the rage back then. Several of them were based on books. I enjoyed seeing how the different characters would intersect.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wish I could find a complete uncut version of Goliath Awaits.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Airport is the film that pretty much defined George Kennedy's later career. I saw it in the theatre when it came out, and was ehh about it, except for George.

I like all of those, msbelle. Hope you will, too.
