Well, that's good to hear. I'm excited to see it opening night.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
You're just saying that cause he talks like God. (Irrelevant Izzard shoutout)
Oh, Eddie Izzard! See, just imagine how happy this little James Mason (James Who? say most of her peers, disinterestedly) fangirl was, back in her late teens, the first time she saw Izzard start blathering on about James Mason. Love Eddie.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I certainly hope Cloverfield lives up to the hype. But I'm concerned about the reviewer's pick of best part of the movie being the same frizzy-headed stoner dude whose appearances in the latest commercials have me fervently hoping he becomes monster chow ASAP.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I haven't seen the trailer, but TJ Miller is pretty great, in general.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Finally saw Eastern Promises and wow, was that good, my only complaint is that it ended.
Right now, to save myself from watching the football game downstairs, I popped in Xanadu which is just as awesome as I remembered it (except for forgetting about the cartoon musical sequence, which made me cringe at first and then it ended up being quite good) and now I'm pissed that the ONJ/GK number was not on the soundtrack. Bastards.
Oh, The Eighties, how embarassing and wonderful you were.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I cringed my way through Logan's Run, thankful that Dennis was asleep most of the time. This morning it was in its little sleeve waiting to go back to Netflix so I'm guessing he preferred his nap to the actual film.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yesterday I got "Logan's Run" and "Jacob's Ladder" confused. Imagine how weirdly those posts read.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
For a moment there I was thinking Seventh Veil, but no.
Oh, James Mason.
Oh, James Mason indeed. I flove that movie, even though the psychotherapy sessions are a bit ridiculous, and I feel like I'm betraying the sisterhood or something by woobiefying Mason's character like whoa because... well, he's a possessive, psychotic, abusive bastard. If you look at that film from another light, it's a freakin' horror movie, not romance, and that happy-ending is completely unrealistic and kinda creepy, actually. He breaks her fingers with his cane when she tries to leave him, for fuck's sake! But there is just something about the guardian/ward relationship that pushes my gothic romance-loving buttons, and well, there is James Mason. He's the prototypical Magnificent Bastard.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I agree on all points. It is All Kinds of Bad And Wrong And Fucked Up. I mean, he's her freaking father figure, for heaven's sakes!

...but, yes, damn, it works for me. Gah.
