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.

Persian king Xerxes was not an 8-foot-tall Cirque du Soleil reject.
You don't say!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Including 2001 doesn't really seem fair.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm amazed they only devoted three sentences to Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Was there one single moment in that movie that wouldn't make a history teacher cry?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Including 2001 doesn't really seem fair.
They did say nice things about it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We rented Kinky Boots last night, and I have to say, I was really impressed with Chiwetel Ejiofor. I've only ever seen him as a bad guy, so I was dubious about his ability to play a sympathetic character, but he was great.
Plus he looks killer in a dress.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
He just won an Olivier award, which is a huge deal for UK actors. He's a really, really good actor.

He's a really, really good actor.
I was impressed with the way he was so completely at ease, physically, when he was dressed as a woman, but totally awkward and uncomfortable, physically, when he was dressed as a man.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Including 2001 doesn't really seem fair.
I have to agree. "Wildly inaccurate predictions of the future," maybe. But if 2001 belongs because it got 30 years in the future wrong, Minority Report also belongs there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think including 2001 was a joke.
