I just read somewhere that the "gay" line was an improv, which somehow makes it even cooler to me.

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
For those who are interested in such things, The Forbidden Zone was released on DVD today.
And in related 1980-movie-musical news, The Apple is now paired with Roller Boogie instead of Freaks, so nobody has any excuses not to buy it.
[eta: Although I did just notice that Forbidden Zone is now paired with Freaks. I think Amazon's just moving it around until someone buys it.]

I'm really tempted. Are there good extras? Excellent quote by evil queen of the underwold in The Forbidden Zone: "Why does it feel SO good to be so bad?"

I haven't checked the extras yet. But I do feel I should point out that The Apple contains a power ballad with the line "How can it be wrong / when it feels so right?" Making it EVEN MORE PERFECT a companion movie to The Forbidden Zone.
And if you'd been at Amoeba music last Saturday, you could have asked Richard Elfman yourself. (LA peeps can still catch him at the Amoeba Music there tomorrow night.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I totally agree with Plei on Harold and Kumar. One of the best movies I've seen all year.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Movies watched lately, all three enjoyed very much: Monsoon Wedding, Bad Santa, and Kill Bill Vol. 2.
Must now seek out this flick called The Apple that keeps popping into your conversations. I sense that I should be very, very askerred.

Hey. New board.
I can't be the only one that, every time The Apple is mentioned, imagines a very bad horror movie starring a lampshade iMac with fangs. And possibly acid for blood.
Can I?

I've not yet seen the movie, but from past descriptions I always assumed it was what you'd get if you smashed The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Xanadu and The Bible together at high speed.
Though perhaps The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told would work as a combination of those last two.

That pretty much nails it.
