I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

he was found in an apartment owned by Mary-Kate Olsen.

According to the NYTimes, the police have retracted this statement.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I think it's early enough we need to take everything we hear with a grain of salt. People are going to want information, and it will come, but we may need to give it some time.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

When NPR broke in to announce this, I had a River Phoenix/Phil Hartman flash-back. Such a waste!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I do feel awfully selfish, grieving for a stranger this way. But, like many here (hi Jars!) I've loved watching him since way back when and felt such gratification when he blew up all over the place.

It's really not my place to grieve, but he did his job well enough that I do.

God, yes, this. It was the first thing I saw when I logged on this morning (I open up onto the Guardian Website).

I don't want to get all Princess Diana weep weep bullshit over someone whom, okay, I never met or expected to meet - but this is a guy who's six years younger than me,for God's sakes, and I had been both genuinely impressed with his acting range and thoroughly charmed by his sheer damned lickability. Which, shallow, but, you know - I appreciated the pretty, I admired the acting skill (because, you know, pretty boys don't always have to be able to act - but he could) and like Jars I'd seen him first in Aussie teen shows and I'd been chuffed to bits (in a totally unjustified way, as he's nothing to do with me and not even from my country) when he'd had such success in Hollywood.

What a tragic thing for his family, and what a rotten waste of a genuine acting talent. Damn. Stupid universe.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The Heath Ledger news made me do a triple-take when I saw it on CNN and exclaim loudly "What the fuck?!?!?"

This is going to make THE DARK KNIGHT a seriously creepy viewing experience - like THE CROW level creepy. The fact that Heath's Joker looks more like the Crow than any live-action Joker I've seen is only going to add to the creepy factor.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

here's NYT's article. Sad sad shit. Sounds like the police are going for accidental death pre-coroner's report.

no illegal drugs found in the loft. So, maybe his staff did a marvelous job cleaning up or this was accidental... [link]
