Oh yes, I just emailed you about that. I got to talk about the FANTASTIC viral marketing Sega did, where they trolled themselves online. Successfully.

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.

Watched Sunshine last night. It had some flaws, but all around, I'd like to see more sci fi movies like that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was dissatisfied with it primarily because I thought it was two movies--and not a blend between two, but a switch from one to the other.

Yeah, that was one of the flaws.
Maybe not that it was two different movies, but that it should have been integrated better or transitioned better from one to the other. I can see how they wanted to make the ending more exciting, but they definitely dropped the ball in trying to do so.

Just went back and reread everybody's comments on Sunshine, and generally agree with most of them. I wasn't so dissatisfied with the ending and the transition into it that it ruined the movie for me, but it was a massive flaw.
I also wish (like somebody else, Juliebird, I think) that somehow more of what Boyle, the writer, and the actors and wanted and intended for the film had actually made it onscreen. It was clear from the supplementary materials on the DVD that they had all intended to deliver more than I felt actually made it into the film.
Still, I really liked the movie it was for the first two thirds or so of its length.
Now I'm curious what it was that drove Matt TBF from the theater when he saw it.

I really enjoyed it. I had quibbles...mostly related to gravity. But I really liked the performances.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I left the movie feeling like someone had taped over the last 20 minutes with a really crappy movie that just happened to have most of the same actors as the really good movie I'd just been watching. "Ruined" is the wrong word.

I'm so intrigued about Sunshine. I don't know what to expect from it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I rented The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill the other night. I can recommend it, not necessarily as a documentary, but a very sweet portrait. It's also interesting to hear someone describe the personalities of wild animals they've observed for a while. The DVD is really welcome because it wraps up some loose ends from the movie satisfyingly.
