Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

44: Wanted

Wish fulfilment for every bored office drone: This comic book adventure tells how James MacAvoy is rescued from cube farm drudgery by Angelina Jolie’s sexy assassin and trained to become a super-cool killing machine.

This is kinda sad, as Jolie's character was pretty clearly drawn as Halle Berry. I wonder if she was offered first shot at it but was scared away by the prospect of wearing cat ears again...

They think a Bond movie and Iron Man are going to be bigger hits than Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not optimistic about the Indiana Jones box office. I fear it's tired. Iron Man is a bit of a wild card, but the James Bond revitalisation may have taken.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

wow Stardust was good.

This made me laugh:

Fincher tends to alternate crowd-pleasers like Alien with more thoughtful pieces like Fight Club

I suppose that Alien 3 was about as crowd-pleasing as Fight Club was thoughtful, but I don't think that's what they mean.

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

Yes, Fight Club was a moody Merchant-Ivory piece. Definitely.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well, it did have HBC in it.

Now I want to somehow insert the phrase "Bob had bitch-tits" into every single M-I movie ever made.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Now I want to somehow insert the phrase "Bob had bitch-tits" into every single M-I movie ever made.

Hell, I'm thinking about inserting it into every conversation I ever have.

"Morning, Joe. Rough drive in?"

"Not too bad. Roads were wet, but not slick. Bob had bitch-tits."

"Good, good. What?"

Hey. New board.

I started reading Fight Club recently. It's pretty angry. I think I'm going to have an unhealthy relationship with Chuck Palahniuk soon. Sample chapters on the Kindle are like CRACK.

I want to see a movie today because my students drove me crazy today. It should be good, but not especially dark or depressing. I'm thinking maybe The Savages. Anybody seen it?

You know that he came out of the closet since he wrote FC, right?
