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.
Maureen O'Who?
My only talking-to-somebody-and-not-realising-who-they-are-tales are James Marsters (Liverpool, Cavern Bar) and Kirsty's friend, who rang and had a conversation along the lines of "I was at this after party thing last night. It was rubbish. But I spoke to some dude all night about movies, he seemed pretty cool. He was a bit kooky though." "What was his name?" "I'm not sure, Quentin something?" "OH MY GOD, YOU TIT".

Maureen O'Hara!! Natalie Woods' mom in the original Miracle on 34th Street!! Kicked John Wayne's ass in The Quiet Man!! Even played John Candy's mom in more recent years.
Wow, if I had the chance to meet her, I just know I'd gush like I did to Julie Andrews. She's one of the favorites of both my parents, and they didn't have too many movie favorites in common.

She was adequate in Sam Peckinpah's first film The Deadly Companions! Which is about as high as praise for that movie could get.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
now watching: King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters.
Lovely documentary about killing a 25-year-old Donkey Kong world record. And my god, these people make fencers look normal.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It's a really good movie...one that is completely ruined by learning the real facts underlying the drama purported by the movie. It really pissed me off.

I wasn't really pissed by the purported facts. I suspected that there was some manipulation going on, and that there were no actual villains.

I was pissed that the reputations of the people involved were ruined-- the movie presents the people in a very unflattering light, ascribing motives to them that were completely false. What can they do now that the movie is out? I'm sensitive to that-- with google, you can never really remove that taint. It was unfair. And I felt betrayed as well by a movie that presents itself to be a faithful representation of events, and it wasn't. The movie is premised on the idea that everyone was arrayed against Steve Wiebe getting the highest score-- except, in the timeline of the entire film, Steve Weibe doesn't have the highest Donkey Kong score for one day. One day! It all falls apart without that motivation.
I would be less bothered by the fact that the film is misleading, if it didn't have the effect of making everyone in the movie look embarrassingly bad, mean, and unethical.
