Hey, P-C, maybe I should write the movie where The Indian Guy and The Chick in The Wheelchair fight crime or something.
He's not The Indian Guy. He's That Indian Guy. I think maybe you're That Chick in The Wheelchair, actually.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

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.

If I only had a brain...
I thought you said Wheels and Masada
and I was having unhappy thoughts about you and Erika rolling off a cliff.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
It's really tragic - I get out to far fewer movies then I used to (though this does go in phases, or maybe spasms). Of what I have seen, these are the ones that I'd deem worthy (in no particular order):
Kill Bill, Vol 2
Eternal Sunshine...
Hellboy
Spider-Man 2
Manchurian Candidate
And somehow that's all I'm coming up with - if that's it, I'm acually embarassed.
I've got Friday off, and hoping to catch up with a bunch of stuff I've missed recently over the weekend/next week which would be (and yes, I've been known to do the movie binge thing):
Zantiochi (sp?)
Gozu
Collateral
Harry Potter the 3rd
possibly Anchorman
And then there were a ton I kept meaning to get to but missed, mostly indy or foreign films, though.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Gozu
Saw it in L.A. last Thanksgiving. Definitely the most fucked up thing I've ever seen. I think the lactating old lady sent me over the edge. 9 months later I still can't decide if I hated it or not.

Zantiochi (sp?)
Zatoichi. It means "first strike" or something to that effect. Ichi is Japanese for the numeral 1, or first. I had a gorgeous gray kitten once named Ichiban (first one) because he was the first of the litter to exit his mother (He died of old age not too long ago). Zato (I *think*) means "hidden." The word Zatoichi also occasionally refers to a samurai sword hidden in a bamboo walking stick. (EtA: These swords were frequently used by Ronin (outlaw or masterless samurai) who were forbidden by Emperor Tokugawa from carrying weapons)
Yojimbo (another famous movie title, and word frequently associated Japanese samurai culture) means "guard" or "guardian," and carriers warrior connotations.

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

I need a zatoichi.

hey, did we know that Darrin Morgan (of Jose Chung and Small Potatoes fame) sold a superhero comedy script?
Cooool.
