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.

Jodie went to a French immersion grade school and did major in something French at Yale, lit or linguistics, I don't remember.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Finished The Shining over the weekend. The American Indian theory is interesting, and the author that Strega links to could also have mentioned that Dick Halloran does not die in the novel -- though he and Wendy are both injured pretty seriously. On the other hand, Ullman does emphasize in the novel that the Overlook was intended as an upper-crust luxury resort -- not in the same language as in the movie, but pretty much the same idea.
Barry Lyndon is another very pretty movie. I read Thackeray's novel (which Barry narrates in first person POV) not long before seeing the movie, and I used that to fill in a lot of the backstory that wasn't clear on the screen.
I also saw Don't Knock the Rock and Don't Knock the Twist. Two worthy for any fans of pre-Beatles rock 'n' roll, though you might want to fast-forward through the plot development parts, especially of Twist.

Frodo Baggins a New Zealandbred thoroughbred who was in FOTR was destroyed following injuries sustained at the Rolex Three Day event. (His rider was seriously injuried.)

I lied. I voted for "I like most/all of these films," cuz YEAH.
Maltese Falcon, African Queen, Key Largo, Treasure of the Sierra Madre...
I think what surprised me was that there was more than one that I hadn't seen: Across the Pacific, In This Our Life, and Beat the Devil.
Time to see if I can find those movies, and watch them.
