Oh, woes. That's disappointing.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

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.

Oh, that's super disappointing. I wonder if they'd be willing to sell off the Nimona IP so that someone else could finish it or something? Probably not, but what a shame; the comic was so charming.

So I watched Space Sweepers on Netflix last night, and if you want Firefly but with an Asian cast and no weird slut-shaming, and in actual Korean (as well as English and French), and with an adorable moppet, this is your jam. There is a bit of confusion about one plot element that might have been me missing a couple lines of dialogue, but it's a very fun action-adventure involving space stations and corporate skullduggery at an interplanetary level.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Oh, Ken loved that movie!

I'm finally getting back to my Century+ project after a one-year hiatus. (Well, a one-year hiatus in blogging, as I've been watching many of these films over the course of that year. But the delay meant that it took me somewhat longer to compose my thoughts as I ended up rewatching a bunch before writing these up.)

In any case, going forward, I hope to stay on track with my initial plan of writing up one decade a month, so look for my post on the 1920s at the end of this month or the beginning of next.
For the 1910s, I think Judex (1916) would be of particular interest to the Buffistas.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I saw The Cameraman’s Revenge, which you embedded in your post. A very clever film! I only hope the filmmakers were wise enough not to try to repeat their success in dead-insect animation.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Honestly not sure if this belongs here or in Infinite Chrises, but I finally saw Knives Out and the sweater! I was so distracted by how big Chris Evans arms are. Too big for the character/sweater.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
In the words of our founding namesake, those are good arms to have.

Just popping in to say that I'm still working on the 1920s mostly, but the MG's movie night last night was scheduled to watch Sorcerer so naturally I insisted we had to watch The Wages of Fear beforehand since I hadn't yet seen that either and, damn, if those aren't two fantastic films. Different movies in similar shells. Sorcerer was probably less tense than it would have been if I hadn't watched them back to back, but I still preferred it slightly. In fact, I don't get how this flopped at the box office at all.
In any case, I've been meaning to see them for ages, but now that I have I can't believe I waited so long. If that's you, don't be me!

I still haven't seen them! And I love Clouzot's Diabolique and I have the DVD of his unfinished L'Enfer.
