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.

My sister watched Psycho for the first time tonight. She's huddled in a ball underneath her covers with the lights on and door open, asleep.

Hee. I love hearing Psycho-virgins tell their reactions to their first time. My mom's was the best. She was a nursing student, and a group of her friends from nursing school (in St. Charles, IL) went to Kalamazoo, MI for some school thing and after getting settled into their relatively cheap motel for the night, decided to go see the new Hitchcock film at the theater down the street. After getting back two hours later, one refused to take a shower at all, and my mom demanded that her best friend stand outside the bathroom door while she was taking hers.

They didn't sleep well that night.

What style of martial arts did JG use in the movie...?

Apparently Pout-fu, as that seemed to be her response whenever anyone did something unpleasant to her. I'm thinking that a publishing company stealing a photographer's work for hire for a different magazine, not to mention design ideas previously presented to an entire room full of people, could result in more serious legal repurcussions than JG frowning at the former friend/co-worker that backstabbed her.

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

It could, but it was the same sort of thing JG had been doing before, so she'd have got busted along with her.

I don't think that would have prevented her boss and the owners from filing suit. In the real world, Corporate Shark Barbie would be looking at a lot of time spent in courtrooms over the next few years.

I assumed it was off the table just because they'd never done it before. So while real-world improbable, still an established pattern.

A co-worker and her twin sister (another co-worker) just came over to ask if she could borrow my RotK dvd, and we started into a fifteen-minute discussion of movies, starting with Movies That Make You Cry, into Movies That Make You Jump, and then into Movie Stars That Make You Lust, beginning with Burt Lancaster and ending with Chow Yun Fat. For two ladies in their early 60s, they have excellent taste in men.

Hey. New board.

Watching Saved! again. The boy in this movie makes me want to eat him up. His cuteness level is far too high.

Jena Malone has a similar effect.

I'm almost never in the junior lust club around here but...Patrick Fugit?

Very, very bad thoughts.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

There are pretty much two reasons to see Equilibrium :

1. Christian Bale
2. The kickass fights

It does a pretty crappy job of actually being a sci-fi movie, but the fighting is pretty fucking cool.

Always Anti-fascist!

Oh, Vonnie, wrod.(I just watched that this weekend again.) ita, you know I love hit men. But he'd be too busy doing little jobs for me to handle the president of Paraguay, fork or no.
