Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Seeing Juno again for the second time in a theater. I can't remember the last time I did that. Or even wanted to.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Last time I did that was Grindhouse. I watched it three times.

Wait, don't you work in a theater? Does that count?

I have to say that I worked in a movie theater for only three horrific months and I was only able to drag myself back there to see one movie. Just couldn't bear to go back to the place I had to be at the rest of the hours of my day.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
is character seemed to me to be not only her father figure, and psychotic, and cruel, and a terrifying contemptuous finger-breaker, but ferociously and utterly gay
Hahaha. I must locate a copy of the film to see if I see this now.
I was expecting some grand tragedy of the ending where Mason's character would get what's coming to him but it would be operatically fucked-up in a way I'd find interesting, then the happy-ending made me go, "... the hell?" Still, I love the film for the melodrama, headgames and WTFery. And James Mason, damn his eyes.
He walked the line between a tragic woobie and the creepy sociopath really well. He made a couple of very fine Carol Reed films around that time -- "Odd Man Out" and "The Man Between", where the story of the tragically flawed antihero took a more sense-making path.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Epic fail: Jewel Staite's movie THE TRIBE (which basically looked like a Lost rip off) has been renamed THE LOST TRIBE, with Jewel recast. The producer gives a somewhat amusing and major league wankage interview about it: [link]
Although reading the interview I'd say the producer has no idea what the fuck he's doing.

Yes I work in a theatre so I get to see movies for free so it kinda doesn't count.

I loved Once too, tiggy. I got the OST and the other version they put out, they're on iTunes - lovely.
