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.

I do remember hating the movie with the fire of a hundred suns.

This. Exactly.

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

See, that summer we watched all five original Planet of the Apes movies in preparation, which was fun in its own right. What I really liked about the remake was the rubber band time travel such that Marky Mark ended up being responsible for the existence of the planet. I thought that idea was way cool, cause I love funky time travel shit.

The original Manchurian Candidate is in the queue. Oh, and tonight I'm finally seeing Jaws.

I'm trying to think of my favorite bendy-time flick and all that is coming to mind is Time Bandits but that doesn't really apply.

I should have, but I didn't hate Timeline.

Shows a marked lack of imagination that my brain can't seem to find a bendy-time story in the database that does not include the word time.

More thinking necessary, but more work needing done. Priorities!

12 Monkeys, dude.

Five Words (Or rather, 4 words and a number):

Back. To. The. Future. 2.

Runs away.

You should see La Jetee, P-C. You may never mention 12 Monkeys again.

Hells yeah, dude.

Doubtful. I love both Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt. But I wouldn't mind seeing the original short film some time.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

12 Monkeys, dude.

Dude indeed. First movie I ever liked Brad Pitt in.

And I've seen La Jetée. It's possible to like both -- they're very different critters.

Also (if we're listing time travel movies without time in the title that don't suck), Terminator and T2.

Ah, point. And granted, T3 had a pretty ballsy ending, but it wasn't as great.

I'm really anxious to see The Butterfly Effect, despite its apparent suckage.

Oh. Technically, Army of Darkness is a time travel adventure, though it really doesn't count since it doesn't have any time travel fun.

Ooh, now I've got the freaky 12 Monkeys theme in my head.

In the end, I really liked T3. I was surprised to, and sometimes when I think about the Terminator movies, I kind of forget it exists, but it was good.
