Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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 finally got around to watching Pan's Labyrinth. I've had it since February 25th, but I was pretty rabid on catching up with Torchwood, so I put it off. I also put it off because I knew it was going to be sad as hell and I wasn't sure if I could deal with it. I did, but, wow, was that sad. Such a contrast between Ofelia, who couldn't be obedient to authority and sacrifice the life of an innocent and the Capitain, who could not only sacrifice an innocent, but sacrifice his own humanity to do it within the rigid bounds of the party line. I like to think that Ofelia's soul returned to her rightful kingdom, but she's still dead, poor wee thing. Guillermo del Toro is a fricking genius.

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Heh. Well, I'm glad! Because the red-band trailer for Forgetting Sarah Marshall is MUCH funnier than the green-band trailer.

I recall in my cinephile infancy being excited about the possibility of a red band trailer every time I saw an R rated film but now that I've seen the interior of a projection booth I understand the concern regarding someone putting the wrong trailer on a print. Kudos to Edwards for taking that risk (and with digital projection it's far less risky) but now any time I want to see a red band trailer I only have to go on line.

have to share the cuteness from the imdb trivia page on The Importance of Being Earnest.
"While Reese Witherspoon was learning her English accent for this movie, her husband, Ryan Phillippe was learning a Scottish accent for his role in Gosford Park (2001). And the person who picked it up fastest was... their daughter Ava."
The movie was a decent adaptation but nothing special. Colin Firth was great but Rupert Everett was not.

That's been the state of affairs ever since Another Country, hasn't it?

I dunno - I love Rupert in CEMETERY MAN, but it's hardly a traditional role for him I guess (also, MONKEY B. now that I think about it, but again, not so traditional).
Or is this just movies with Rupert AND Colin?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A pointlessly nifty thing about Apple TV is trailers on tap. Fewer movies should take me by surprise now. I toddled over because I was reading questions about the Get Smart trailer, but now I know about Forbidden Kingdom! How cool is that?
Well, okay, Get Smart looked lame, but the idea of the trailer thing is good.
Ooh! Harold & Kumar 2!
