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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I will simply opine (for the fifth time at least) that Kate/Cary totally trumps Kate/Spencer.

A good proportion of Kate/Spencer movies bug me, because they seem to be about feminization/domestication of a headstrong, intelligent woman. Much as it has to recommend about it, I can't watch "Woman of the Year" without getting pissed at the 'comeuppance' Hepburn's character gets. There is a rather unpleasant smugness in the scene in which she is made to feel like a failure as a woman because because she can't cook, nevermind the fact that she's a brilliant political journalist and speaks a dozen languages. Bah!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have just seen the greatest movie ever made.

No, really.

The Apple is the movie that finally answers the question, "What would life in the far, far future of 1994 be like under a totalitarian disco regime?" And the related question, "Under such a regime, what would be the fate of two wholesome folk musicians from Moosejaw?"

There is music. There is dancing. There is shiny polyester. There is a monorail.

It was made in 1980, but was just released today on DVD, and is only $13 at Amazon.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I think I need to see that movie.

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

Jessica, you're lying. No movie could possibly be that good.

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

Don't listen to her. Amazon pairs that movie with Freaks. That's gotta mean something.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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

I heard about The Apple a while ago. It definitely sounds worth seeing.

There is a monorail.

MY MOTHER WAS A MONORAIL!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I've seen The Apple, or at least part of it.

:shudder:

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It was made in 1980, but was just released today on DVD, and is only $13 at Amazon.

It's also been making the rounds at theaters that still do midnight movies. I think it was at Coolidge Corner last weekend, in fact.
