My favourite Buffy is predictable. The musical and the episode that followed it, Tabula Rasa. I call season 5 and 6 of Buffy "High Renaissance Buffy".
Hi! :) And yeah, it's a weird and ridiculous film, but I feel that it never reaches a point where it's alienating or lessers the impact of the more emotional scenes. That's really why I love it: there's so much going on, it's all over the place tonally and pacing wise, but somehow, it works. Perfectly. it's monumental. It feels so full of life. idk
Though I haven't watched many movies, so I don't have much of a frame of reference lol.
Oh I wasn't knocking the movie. Whatever its faults, I DID watch the whole thing in one sitting which I can say about no other movie of that length. It's fun and involving, and a true original. I've filed it under 'torture porn' but I'm a bit of a gentle flower that way.
Er, that's weird. I've just tested both e-mail handles (agne@ and pike.malarkey@) and they seem to be working ok. That said, I sent you a story yonks ago but I never received a reply so maybe it's connected? I'll drop you a line on your two e-mails (ratmag and personal), tell me if you get them.
Yes, there’s no accounting for taste. I’m one of those weirdos who believe the movie is sometimes better than the book, and that the sequel is sometimes better than the original. My family has disowned me and my dog looks ashamed when I try to play with her!
