Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

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.

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

Three words -- The Fifth Element.

Two words -- Bruce Willis.

Two more -- Chris Tucker.

I had no hate left over.

Is that better, Jessica? I edited it, but it never scrolled in my browsers, so I can't tell if I fixed it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I LOVED the Fifth Element. Mostly because I'm the hugest sucker EVER, actively like Chris Tucker in a dress, don't care one way or the other about Bruce Willis (part-dependent), and saw it late at night.

Three words -- The Fifth Element.

Huh. Found it tacky, Euro-trash fun, and Milla was hardly the most annoying thing in it.

Two words: Chris. Tucker.

Hell, I usually love Gary Oldman, and he was far more obnoxious than Milla. It's a tie between his accent and his hair as far as to what grated most.

eta, and heh on partially word-for-word x-post with ita.

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

It's still too wide for mine (1024x768). If there were a break after "criteria," it would be perfect.

I had no hate left over.

Lucky for Gary Oldman.

How's it now, Jessica? I'm experimenting with something transparent.

Lucky for Gary Oldman.

OMG. So dead to me since Dracula. Didn't even remember he was in the movie.

Oh, I had some left for Jovovich. That was a god-awful movie. I haven't seen it in nearly seven years and I still remember the hate.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Thanks for fixing my screen-breaking. I had to run out right after making that posts, and didn't see it.

(And I loved Fifth Element, but between AvP, Resident Evil, and Hudson Hawk, it should be pretty obvious that I will occasionally love a movie that has no Earthly reason to be loved)

Still scrolling, but unless I hit "recent," it's off my screen by now anyway.

And see, Fifth Element is one of those movies that I really should have loved, and on exactly those terms, but no. It inspired nothing but the fiery clambakes of hatred deep within my soul.
