Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Girls.
I've only seen the trailer before Cloverfield. I looked at it, thought "Oh, they're building the ship. Must be in orbit. This is the whole trailer?" and went back to talking to my friend.
In related news, Wired just applauded Mr. Spock for "never spock-blocking the randy captain."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Sometimes, I miss dating empty-headed silly boys.
Love you, honey.

Somebody tell that guy that gasoline is highly flammable and consequently dangerous!

This is too cute--a 3-y.o. summarizes Star Wars (the original movie).

So excited. Just had my first meeting about my next project--editing a new film studies book by Bordwell. It will be a nice change from French, and yet another validation of all the time I spent in grad school.

Given the confluence of his background as a parachute rigger and the flagrant distribution of 'bennies' to keep the troops awake and working on deck for days on end, DEXH invented a multi-pocketed flight suit in the event he fell off. (not that he had much chance of surviving a 20 story drop, but he felt shark repellant, food sticks and a beacon light might come in handy) He got called into the head guy's office and feared the worst for being 'out of uniform'. Instead, they asked if he could make some more. "Sure, now many?" "3000 by next week?" "Uh, no. But I can teach other riggers how to make them." So he got shuttled all over the Pacific Theatre.
