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.

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

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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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

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

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!

The only way Forbidden Kingdom could be any better is if Chow Yun Fat was in it. As Wong Fei-Hung.

I'm irrationally excited about Nim's Island.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

WHAT. Oh, man. He was still so freakin' young.

That was him who played the uncredited interviewer of the old Briony played by Vanessa Redgrave in Atonement, right?
