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.

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.

Oh snap!
I still can't find anyone to see IM with me. Which hasn't stopped me from attempting to piss off fans who are also fans of The Incredibles by pointing out that Iron Man could only be a villain in that world.

I'll go! I'll go anywhere with Raq as that is guaranteed fun.

Iron Man could only be a villain in that world.
Do I not understand this because I don't know Iron Man well enough or because I don't know The Incredibles well enough. I only saw the Incredibles on TV while doing chores. Does "your superpowers come from your equipment" = villain in that world? I know being stuck as the sidekick was what had pushed the villain over the edge. But from what I remember of the movie, there was not actually anything stopping him from going off and fighting "for justice, and for the safety of puppies" - other than being bugfuck crazy. (There was the whole liability thing, but that applied to all superheroes in the Incredibleverse. )
