That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have watched every ep of In Treatment on HBO and while I think it is good tv, and solid craftmanship, the episodes with Paul and Sophie are ART. They are beautiful and stirring and just marvelous. I would likely say the same thing about Paul and Alex and Paul & Gina (w/ or w/o Kate).

The other permutations are good, but I am not sure they CONSISTENTLY reach the level of ART. Some of the reason for that are actors' choices, writing - and perhaps directing (and note: because of the premise of the show, the sets don't vary, so you can't blame them), but damn if you can't see the value of good acting and directing in an enclosed environment...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can't decide if this is better suited to this thread or Other Media, but my husband is friggin' hilarious. (Not an April Fool's prank, I promise.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I figured that must be annoying. Not something I imagine I'll have to worry about...unless I've honestly earned it. Or that Venezuelan socialite. Or the Irish artist.

I figure it's the trade off for having a name that pretty much everyone can understand and (usually) spell.
