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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I never figured out how to pronounce "Closer". Is it the noun or the adjective?

I agree with Jess on the dream aspect of SCIENCE OF SLEEP. Unfortunately, I spent the bulk of the movie wanting to smack the lead character around until he stopped being such a whiny little brat, which mitigitated the very real pleasure I was getting from the effects (that is, the dream-like qualities, not the special effects per se) Gondry was pulling off.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think it is the adjective-- because they get closer and closer to each other. I also think that I can't deal with abhorrent characters. I also disliked Taxi Driver (not that they are at all the same kind of film).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Some of the effects stuff was beautiful.

But yes OH MY GOD STOP CRYING.

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

Pretty sure that was the intended effect. He's not supposed to be a guy you admire.

I didn't need him to be admirable. I needed him to be someone I didn't want to strangle.

Of course there is. You've heard of ewe-genics, haven't you?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's the sort of woolly-headed liberal thinking that leads to being eaten.
