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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Logan's Run was impressive back when it was new and I was impressionable. "Not held up well" is a good definition.

I have a substantially-younger friend who I made watch this recently (I felt it has sufficient pop culture staying power that she ought to know the source material. Plus it was SO COOL when I was a kid). Turns out it's also ripe for MST3K-style treatment, if your senses of humor happen to run that way.

And thanks to you people, though I have no particular intention to watch the movie, if somehow I do, it's going to be very difficult not to shout, "Renew! Renew!" all through Grizabella's big number.

Has anyone else seen Fast Color? I missed it in theaters (apparently it was in limited release back in April) but I caught it on Amazon this weekend and it's really good. It's a small indie sci-fi movie (post-apocalyptic, natch) about three generations of black women who can take apart and reassemble things with their minds.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

According to recent reports, he ad libbed that line.

Vale, Rutger.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

PBS ran a series on science fiction in movies, TV, etc., and he was one of the people interviewed. It might have been his last interview. sigh ....

Oh man, the lovefest for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood has started on Twitter and I just want to hide under the covers until this movie goes away. I found it tedious, at least 2 hours too long, painfully racist and borderline pedophiliac (I do NOT need to see QT's foot fetish on display ever again, and especially not when the feet in question all belong to teenage girls). I wanted to take a yearlong shower after the screening ended.
