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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There needs to be a DVD where you can strip out stories. Nuke Cuba, for sure, and perhaps Jon Lovitz.

Well, basically watch Seth and Breckin over and over and over.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I love ita, because she has many websites with pretty boys. In categories.

move out and draw fire

OK, I was just asked a question. It's a question to which I should know the answer, but I don't! I'm having great existential trauma here, but in the meantime I thought I'd check in with the hivemind:

Why did they choose a bullwhip for Indiana Jones?

Art Crawl!!!

I have no thoughts on whyfor a bullwhip for Indy.

But look: it's the Batman Begins panel at ComicCon and over here it's the Fantastic Four panel!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hm. It gets retroactively explained in #3, but in #1, it just showed up as part of his gear, without comment. Right? He had it back in the South American tomb/giant bocci balls complex.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Why did they choose a bullwhip for Indiana Jones?

Because it's rugged and manly, and reminiscent of an old-school serial.

(It's nagging at my brain that there was a more specific reason, and that it was probably mentioned on the making-of documentary on the DVD that I watched not three months ago, but I can't remember. Sorry.)

The evil is this way?

Why did they choose a bullwhip for Indiana Jones?

Because laser-guided missles hadn't been invented yet.

Always Anti-fascist!

I don't think Clive Owen is hot either. And that takes some effort. I think most British actors are hot. So y'all can have the Clive. Of course, I think JF is hot...I had a Pretty and Tormented button installed last year and he trips it more than anybody who's not Timmy.

It's our biggest hero-in-your-face celebrity, daytime metaphor for all us

FF? Really? I thought they were kind of ... stuffy, until Ultimate. And even then...

Up with the sun

Roll call:

Clive Owen: Neutral. I've seen him in two movies and one of the BMW thingies, and he's never stuck to my brain.

Tobey Maguire: Odd-looking, yet strangely appealing.

Jake Gyllenhall: Neutral-to-attractive.

Matt Damon: Ditto.

James Franco: Looks genetically engineered -- too perfect to be hot.

Colin Firth: HOT. Teppy, you might just need to see a movie with him to get it.

Colin Farrell: Pretty enough to make me watch Phone Booth AND The Recruit. Skanky IRL.

Guy Pearce: Very, VERY pretty.

And, of course:

Drew Fuller: The prettiest, and all mine.
