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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Have I shared that I only recently realized that while Phoebe Walker Bridge is very talented, she is not also a podcaster (Phoebe Judge) or a musician (Phoebe Bridgers).

Once again treading into The Great Marti Noxon/Marni Nixon Conundrum.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Or my perpetual confusion about Keith Urban and Karl Urban.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I legit thought that Nicole Kidman married the actor from Lord of the Rings for quite some time! I thought it was cute and I was a little disappointed.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Mine was discovering that Jon Favreau the actor wasn't also writing speeches for Obama.

Which is an understandable mistake, since Kal Penn the actor really did work in the Obama administration.

Exactly! Jon Favreau writes things! It made sense.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Have I shared that I only recently realized that while Phoebe Waller Bridge is very talented, she is not also a podcaster (Phoebe Judge) or a musician (Phoebe Bridgers).

When a friend of mine made this list on FB a few months back, he also included Phoebe Dynevor, star of Bridgerton. We wound up deciding that someone should produce a rom-com farce starring ONLY actors named either Phoebe or Chris.

My favorite thing about Godzilla vs King Kong was that when the two Godzillas are shooting plasma rays at each other out of their mouths, the closed captions read "[warbling]"

That is now my favorite thing as well. [warbles in assent!]

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

Oh that reminds me of the episode where Giles was turned into a monster ('It's only a *little* tail!") and when he chased after the evil professor, gargling in monster speak, the closed caption read "Run! Run away fast, you evil little woman! Evil!" or something like.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Finally got a chance to see "The Father," which has a brilliant conceit executed superbly. Anthony Hopkins always gives memorable performances but he's next level in this film as a man suffering from progressive dementia. It plays often like a thriller, or even horror, and engaged me thoroughly during its deeply upsetting and disorienting 97 min runtime. The entire film is an exercise in immersive empathy. I went to a late showing last night with about 10 people in the entire theater, and heard several people sobbing out loud near the end. I went in expecting it to be a staid Oscar film and it's anything but. Highly recommended.

6 Best Picture nominees down, "The Trial of Chicago 7" to go (groan).
