Not about movies, but I just read a pretty typical CIA spycraft type book, except it was written by a woman, so many of the main and/or significant characters were women (the Vice President AND the DCI!), and it didn't matter. Which was awesome -- there was basically nothing different in the story because those characters were women. I vote more of that.

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.

I love JJL in The Big Picture. I bought the video just to have her student film.
I did the exact same thing. The fact that she looked and acted like a friend of mine from college (who was a film student) only added to the love.
Also love her in Miami Blues.
I REALLY need to see this movie.

I REALLY need to see this movie.
They reviewed it at the Onion AV club recently.

Hey! I was hating everybody WAY before Sean and nobody's ever given me Fernet and a cigarette!
Dude, count your blessings! Based on the cocktails you were warning me about at the Old Absinthe House, Fernet would kick your ass, steal your wallet, and dump you in an alley.

I always thought if there was a movie of my life(shut up!) JJL should be the one to play me. Lately there is someone else who's been in indie movies, but in posting that, she's vanished. I don't remember who I thought of. dag. Lucky I'm going nowhere then.

erika, you know who could totally play you? (Although she'd have to cut her hair, natch.) Natasha Lyonne.

What did you think of Limbo?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
What did you think of Limbo?
... Huh. I've never seen it, but now I really think I need to check it out. At the very least, just because it looks like they did the entirety of location filming in Juneau.

I liked Limbo. But then again, I like most John Sayles so that's not surprising. Plus David Strathairn.

The one thing I remember from Limbo was that it was very aptly named, and that I don't think I cared for it.
But I am not a "Lady or the Tiger" fan.
