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.

Everyone was saying how all the prizes were predetermined and it was gonna be a boring Oscar but PARASITE DID THAT
I need to go to bed but am too keyed up.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I was on Twitter last night instead of here, but YOU GUYS PARASITE!!!!!

I watched with a friend and we made liberal use of the DVR fast-forward function to skip things like the Best Actor speech, but I demanded we be totally quiet when Bong won for original screenplay because, well, "Silence! My crush is talking!"
(Not only is he attractive and funny, but I love his speaking voice.)
Still criminal that Song Kang-ho wasn't nominated for Best Actor. He gave a career best performance and given that his baseline is "amazing" that is basically saying he was miles better than any of the nominees.

(I totally spaced on talking Parasite here, but I did talk about it on DW. [link]
The Song Kang-ho article I linked to in my DW post is so worth reading if you guys haven't. [link]
Stop saying you're not handsome, Song Kang-ho! You are clearly very wrong! (The first time I saw him act, my reaction was, "Damn, that man is magnetic." He's got a striking and memorable face. Plus, you know, pretty much the best actor working right now.)

It really does appear to be that, Hec.
Fascinating visual landscape, though. The colors and the tone and the costumes! So neat.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I am tensely eager to see Parasite (it sounds like the kind of thing that's going to make me profoundly upset, but worth it). All the more so since when I last saw my dad, just before the Oscars, we went over the Best Picture nominee list and he'd seen almost all of them (I had, and still have, seen exactly none); when I asked him what he thought of Parasite, he said, "Not much. I heard it was supposed to be a movie with a message, but there was no message. There was nothing there."
Since this is a level of meh that he has previously only reached with his reactions to Thelma and Louise and Raising Arizona, I feel pretty confident that his disdain means that Parasite will hit me like a freight train.

Every time he makes a movie, I go, "that's the Wes Andersonest he's ever Wes Andersoned!" Then he goes one higher.
That cast is ridic.
