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.
I enjoyed Knight's Tale, but he should have gone for the blacksmith chick, who was way cooler and not unattractive
I did not enjoy the Knight's Tale because not only did I hate his love interest with a blazing hot hate that I usually reserve for Scooby Doo and George Bush, I didn't even realize until the end that she wasn't supposed to be a haughty bitch and he wasn't going to get together with the cool blacksmith chick.
I did enjoy yummy Paul Bettany, though....

100% my reaction, up to and including the Bettany love.

How DARE you speak the name of Scooby Doo in the same breath as George Bush! Defame not the name of that beloved pooch.

Yeah, if you wanna pick on a dog, pick on Scrappy Doo.

Hey!

Thirded.
I'm from Roswell, and I work in embassies. There's a lot of movie stuff that's just silly, especially regarding what embassies are like. Bourne Identity did a good job with the consular officer ("This isn't a menu, miss") but was otherwise silly...although we all laughed when Bourne took out the RSO.
There's a lot of Roswell stuff that's silly too, but that's an improvement.
It always bugs in theater movies when they show actors reheasing in full costume on a finished set.

ZOMG, yes. Actually, Shakespeare In Love is a pretty good depiction of the process (it was pre-director era, but still). I choose to believe that there are still occasionally grandly silly-yet-serious actor fights like that somewhere. (Not that we don't have such things, but it mostly consists of sniping at each other behind each other's backs. A full-on melee would be much more civilised.)
Plei keeps trying to get me to watch it. I have so far resisted.
I'll bring it over next time I see you. Or IO it, but IO takes forever from the bowels of my part of campus.
Did I mention there is dancing to Bowie??? Did I? Cause there IS.
Oh, and you can judge the demon/Satan chick from Devour's acting ability in something that doesn't suck! Sadly, as pretty as she is, and she is pretty, Devour was pretty representative of her skills.
On a note related to my earlier post on Juno, which is two fatfingers away from Jump if you're touch typing with a headache like I am, I'd just like to point out something I think got lost in the shuffle of Stuff Movies Get Wrong, I think there's a HUGE difference between handwaving factual accuracy and reinforcing commonly held potentially damaging/harmful ideas, and it's the latter that has the Juno critics twitchy.
