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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Cor is me on this one -- I'm not sure I ever assumed there wasn't anything being manipulated (after all the other documentaries where someone protests afterwards); or maybe it's that I was more interested in the personalities and culture than the specific controversy. I dunno. I wasn't all that surprised, but for me that didn't add up to "betrayed" either.

Is it just me or does that sound wrong like a wrong thing that is wrong?

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
The article actually says that it's a mix of humans and puppets, which sounds much better than how I first interpreted that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Live action had better mean PUPPETS.

OK, that's different. I can see that.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I was going to say. Non-puppet actors portraying Fraggles sounds kind of like what would happen if you took a bunch of costumes from Cats and ran them through the dryer with a red sock and a yellow sock.

Thank goodness. Because I tried to figure out who would end up playing Marjorie the (All-Knowing, All-Seeing!) Trash Heap, and my brain kinda siezed up.
We saw Iron Man yesterday, and I had waaaaaay more fun than I expected. I knew nothing about the backstory (I didn't read Marvel), and assumed I'd spend the entire movie sitting there going "Huh. Nifty effects. Things go boom, whatever", but no! Pete had a moment of geek joy at the scene after the credits ... and then had to explain the significance of it to me.
