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.

Okay, in reverse order:

And of course, that showstopper "You must chill!"

Not to mention the ballad "Kickboxing: Sport of the Future."

I think it's fair to say that art is frequently an interactive process

Like crazy-ass Robert Pirsig's definition of "quality" in Zen and the Art of Driving Steph FUCKING INSANE Motorcycle Maintenance.

While Potemkin scores low on the Empathy axis, it does well on the Intelligence, Talent and Cool axes.

I just flashed on Dead Poets' Society here.

My working definition of Coolness is: The ability to signify membership of a culture, and the ability to drive the culture in a new direction. As mentioned before, the recognition of Cool is relative to the observer.

A bellwether! (Duct tape!)

I don't really have much to contribute in the discussion of What Is Art other than the fact that one of the factors that hasn't been mentioned yet is the crucial question of *Who* Is Entitled To Define Art, And Why.

Punishingly Intricate

I love that movie. Even though I was scared for Eric Foreman's life for two years, cause KS was his dad.

Compassionately intolerant

Hey kid's! Let's put on a show.

Who among us has a barn?

And some lights?

And a sound mixer?

Heeeeeyyyy, this really could work!

I have the reverse problem whenever I watch Dead Poets -- I expect KS to yell "Dumbass!" at someone.
