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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I read it as Wilder and went to a Blazing Saddles place.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

An image from Flashdance?

Hee.

"Are we awake?"
"We don't know. Are we...black?"
"Yes, we are."
"Then we're awake, but we're very confused."

"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

No smoking the good cat crack jokes, not even a Christina Aguilera corset dress joke? Have I logged into the wrong board?

Sorry, caught up to the thread too late. But I do think we have an explanation for Halle's acting choices, based on that quote.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

"Since you are the guest, and I am your host, what's your pleasure? What do you like to do?"
"Oh . . . . Play chess . . . . Screw . . . ."
"Let's play chess."

"Candygram for Mongo!"

"I think Mongo's taken a fancy to you."
"Ohhh, Mongo STRAIGHT!"

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

...I am suddenly realizing that I really haven't ever seen Blazing Saddles in any form other than cut-for-TV.

You must rent the uncut version immediately! That's a film that gets all the best stuff chopped out for TV, more so than Young Frankenstein.
