Well, in the previous movies it was actually some schmo (or tape recorder) reading out of the Necronomicon itself that summoned the demons and started all the badness. While I understand that not reciting the proper verse while playing the world's most horrific version of three card monty actually raised the titular army, it just seems very weird that there were Liliputian Ashes running all over the place for no particular reason.
Gimme some milk.

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 generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Well, the third movie was originally supposed to be the second movie, while the second movie is just a remake of the first movie. Meanwhile, the car from the second movie didn't actually show up in the third movie, and, besides, the stock-clerk at S-Mart (Ash) makes himself a prosthetic robotic hand using nothing more than midieval technology. In other words . . . .
Eeeeeeeeeeevil forrrrrrrrrrrest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
OK, finally saw Matrix Revolutions. Now we can return it to Netflix.
After viewing, it's not much of a wonder that we had it in our home, unwatched for THREE months.
Now, we just need to watch Once Upon a Time in Mexico, and then it's Notorious C.H.O and Hellboy! Whee!
Have I mentioned how we suck at watching movies?

OK, so I'm watching Army of Darkness on TV this afternoon. Admittedly, looking for sense in an Evil Dead movie is probably futile, but I didn't remember from viewing a decade ago that all the creepy stuff with Ash's mirror images at the windmill happened before he improperly grabbed the Necronomicon.
I think there may have been some creative for-TV editing, Matt. Because every version (and there are a couple, a la Blade Runner) I've seen has that happen after he fucked up the quote from The Day The Earth Stood Still.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now that I've seen The Bourne Supremacy, it's doubleplusfunny that Nutty should have asked about krav and rolled up magazines, considering today's class was get the stick, beat up the guy with the knife. Not that it always works, but it's a really good place to start.

I don't think I've seen him in anything, so I'm not sure what to think about that.

This report says the report comes from the News of the World. So not a definitive source.

Thrive to spite them
Mom caught a bit of Army of Darkness when I was tryign to get her universal remote to work... she liked what she saw, which is kind of weird...
And I still can't get this stupid remote to recognize the dvd player, she got it at Christmas and it was working but the batteries ran down. We don't have the documentation but I found a website thanks to Deena, but there aren't any codes for dvd players. In fact there's no information about dvd players at all, it's all just vcrs, cable boxes, and tvs. But there's a button that says dvd on the remote.
I've been trying to just search until the remote works but so far my attempts trying to work the dvd player have just turned off the tv.
