Jimmy Stewart was hot in that,too. And that is not a sentence I type every...ever, actually.
Wesley: We're going to bring Angelus in alive. Connor: No we're not. Gunn: I thought you said capturing him wasn't an option. Wesley: Changed my mind. Connor: Change it back.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Actress Sharon Stone has quit smoking and drinking after suffering a brain aneurysm in 2002. Stone, 46, who's making a come-back as villainess Laurel Hedare in the summer blockbuster Catwoman, had to fight for her life after being rushed to a San Francisco hospital. And she insists the experience changed her: "When my brain exploded, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have such a better life now. I'm at the point in my life where if you don't want my peaches, don't shake my tree. I'm into Happy Town, and if you don't want to live in Happy Town, move, hit the friggin' bricks, baby."
Ah, like Demi Moore's "comeback" in Charlie's Angels 2 ? Also, can you call it a blockbuster before it's actually busted any blocks?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Maybe it's so obvious as to not need to be said, but Bogie and Bacall in To Have and Have Not. That movie just crackles with the sparks between them. Also The Big Sleep.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Yeah, some real life couples come off as flat and uninteresting when they play a couple onscreen. But those two are probably responsible for random strangers making out in the theater when their movies originally played and there was too much chemistry to stay contained in the screen.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I'm telling you, for several months after watching To Have and Have Not, it took *major* effort to stop myself from slinking around town and calling random strangers "Steve".
Lauren Bacall was so freakin' cool. Sigh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Grant and Bergman in Notorious. Colin Firth and Scarlett Johanssen (although they never touch each other) in Girl with a Pearl Earring.

It wasn't until I saw that movie that I finally got one of the running gags in WHAT'S UP DOC.
Which also stands as my #1 "loathe both the main actors yet still adore the movie" movie (WHAT'S UP DOC, that is, just to be clear - do not even REMOTELY loathe Bogie and Baby).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I love What's Up Doc. Ryan O'Neal doesn't bother me, but it's the only Streisand movie I'll watch.

It really, really is. I probably saw it at the right age (i.e. before either actor was on my radar) and seeing that kind of movie with my dad was always a hoot - he loved slapstick.
Ryan O'Neal doesn't bother me
He annoys the hell out of me, and yet he's in several movies I really like, and usually quite good in them: WUD, The Driver, Barry Lyndon, Zero Effect, hell, even Paper Moon.
