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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

tiggy, you're right. That character was digusting AND annoying.

Dane was less so.

It was worth it to see Jessica Alba walk into a steel pole, but just barely.

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hallo, darlings!

Enjoying the Cloverfield talk... sounds like Drew needed a NY beta in a bad way. Being totally ignorant of NY subway geography, it didn't bug me.

Quick question - did anyone hear what was whispered over the very end of the credits? I heard *something* but couldn't make it out...

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Apparently, played backwards, a man's voice is heard through static saying "I'm still alive" Or, or more likely, according to another site you hear "It's still alive"

I googled it and came up with a bunch of sites for it. This one was the funniest: [link]

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

No Oscar talk? Or is that happening in Natter?

Go Ellen Page & Juno (Actress, Screenplay & Movie)!

Art Crawl!!!

It's happening in Natter.

There are alot of movies that I want to see that were nominated but no actual movies that I've seen. (I went to very few movies and haven't even seen POTC3 - even though I have the dvd.)

Ann, that's a ferret.

I saw a couple of Oscar-nominated movies over the weekend, but they weren't nominated for this year.

Though The Talk of the Town raises issues of legal principles vs. practice that are still timely. And where else can you see Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, and Ronald Colman all in the same movie?

And The Spiral Staircase is a great thriller/noir, even if the psychology is too Freudian for today's mindset.

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

Go Ellen Page & Juno (Actress, Screenplay & Movie)!

And Director! That was a surprise.

The noms weren't all that surprising. Ratatouille for screenplay was probably the only one I didn't see coming. And I guess that's because Oscar gets ten spots instead of the Globes' five.

Also: HOLY SHIT NORBIT IS NOW AN OSCAR-NOMINATED MOVIE.

HOLY SHIT NORBIT IS NOW AN OSCAR-NOMINATED MOVIE.

Yeah but I think each Razzie nomination cancels out an Oscar nom. So that leaves Norbit with minus seven Oscar noms or so.

Edited because two z's is enough for any word.

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

I was glad to see Lars and the Real Girl on the list.
