Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

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.

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.

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

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.

I thought Damon was incredibly hot as Will Hunting, but not as much since. Maybe I just want a working-class hero.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I wouldn't kick Matt Damon out of bed.

Except to do him on the floor.

Does the short thing help?

Maybe I just want a working-class hero.

Bourne's kinda middle class.

Rumour has it that Brosnan's out as Bond. I think the Orlando as young Bond rumours are dumb. I much prefer the Bana ones, but appreciate he's maybe a little too...something really delicious for the role.

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

erika, maybe you just want a working-class hero with a Secret Pain. Unless you take into account his secret pain, Will Hunting is kind of a putz.

I like Matt Damon a lot, but more I think for his smarts than for his pretty face. For one thing, at the rate he is aging his face will no longer be pretty by the time I am 30. It is the smoking, I think.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It really sounds like Bloom's PR peeps are working in overdrive.

Bourne rocks my world.

But why? Isn't he the most employed yet strangely untested actor of the moment? Doesn't he ever sleep?

Bourne rocks my world.

He has a krav pragmaticism to him that I cleave unto, despite my issues with the whole not-like-the-book thing.
