You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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...

Then why did he say maybe NOW you'll believe I loved you? Passive-aggressive, wuxia-boy!

If he was that much better (and he was supposed to be), he could have disarmed her. Or did the sword-breaking sword belong to somebody else? Must watch movie again to confirm.

Now I am off to bed with a frozen kirsch. It had damned well better not be this hot tomorrow.

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

The sword breaking sword belonged to Nameless. Disarming her, and then what? She was fighting to the death, probably as many times as it took.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think I should rent Predator. That movie has two governors in it.

The Daily Show had a riff on this. The punch line was something like, "so now we'd like to introduce Senator Predator."

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 know the president has to be born in the US, but I suppose there's nothing in the law that prohibits an alien being a senator. Although I suppose Senator Predator would have a hard time getting his legislation passed to set up preserves where humans would be hunted.

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

I'd just like to reiterate that Jason X is really really bad and makes no sense. Stay away. Watch Freddy vs. Jason instead, if you must.

Hey. New board.

Or Nightmare on Elm Street or Nightmare on Elm Street 2 or Friday the Thirteenth or Friday the Thirteenth 2. One of the GOOD movies from those franchises.

You know?

Jason X takes place on a space station or something, but it still has stupid teenagers for Jason fodder, right?

Stupid, sex-crazed teenagers, yes. They're on a space ship, and the teens are students...of something. Jason is woken up by, I kid you not, rampant teenage hormones. The sex reaches climax and Jason gets up and is all, "Teenagers are having sex! I MUST KILL THEM!"

The only Jason movie I've seen is Friday the Thrirteenth Part III in 3-D. I only remember two scenes: One in which an eyeball pops out straight towards the audience (enhanced by the 3-D effect) and the other in which a joint is passed straight to the audience (people reached for it).

I've never seen any of the Nightmare movies, despite having the same last name as the killer.
