I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

So, the subject of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came up earlier.
I'm very excited, but it's also a reserved excite. I'm allowing for the possibility that it will suck, and bracing myself, just in case.
However, there is one tidbit that makes me happy no matter what: IMDb claims and a brief sighting in the trailer I just caught on TV seems to back it up, that Karen Allen will be reprising the role of Marion Ravenwood.
This makes me happy beyond words.

Sean, I saw that too, and I am THRILLED.
Plus, from the trailer I saw, the movie is smart enough to not even attempt to pretend that Harrison Ford is in his prime.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Crap, I picked the wrong day to be offline all day (and then out drinking with the cow-orkers after the conference that kept me offline all day).
Slightly too fried to meara the whole farking comic book movie thread.
L&R movie would be one of the few things that would make me camp out for a movie.
Return of Marion Ravenwood? O. M. G. THAT WOMAN WAS MY SEXUAL AWAKENING. (I mean, Indy was okay too, but really).
As for the Spirit movie, actual conversation from last night's graphic novel book group meeting:
"Wait, they're doing a movie?"
"Yeah, it's got blahblan and blahblah and blahblah in it."
"Who. Had no idea. So who's directing?
"Frank Miller"
"Oh... well, FUCK."
Oh, it's a movie. I thought he might have been doing a new Spirit comic.
Actually, there is a new Spirit comic. It's not Miller, thank the gods. The first 12 are written/pencilled by Darwyn Cooke (first 6 are collected in hardcover -- gorgeous cover, but otherwise I'd wait for the trade paper), and they're decent, but nowhere near the originals; after that I gather it's gone way downhill, but I haven't read them since I'm another who has pretty much gone to trades. (And we're out of room even for those)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
"Who. Had no idea. So who's directing?
"Frank Miller"
"Oh... well, FUCK."
That was my reaction as well.

New Bats poster and I read over at Scifi Wire that Del Toro is now actually signed to direct the Hobbit movies.

New Bats poster
Niiiiiice. (Though my favorite part of the poster is where Maggie Gyllenhaal's name is, because it replaces Katie Holmes' name.)

Huh, I somehow missed that Aaron Eckhart is in it. Interesting.

IIRC, Eckhart is Harvey Dent.
