Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

In my head, DV is ALWAYS James Earl Jones. Always always always, and to hell with genetics.

Which is creepy during The Lion King, and downright funny during Coming to America.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Funnier still is trying to imagine Eddie Murphy playing Luke Skywalker.

I was never able to buy Murphy as Jones' son in the first place, so no dice there.

If I only had a brain...

Murphy was the runt of the litter.

move out and draw fire

The only good thing I can think of to say about the Star Wars re-work is that Chewie Finally Gets a Damn Medal.

Otherwise, I'm boggled as to why Lucas thought it made more sense to make two new movies that don't match the canon of the existing movies and then redact the existing movies even though the entire population of the world has already seen them at least once, than to make the two new movies fit the story as already told.

It's like he works at my office or something.

Art Crawl!!!

I saw the more Bettany based ad for Wimbledon and it was a thing of beauty and makes me want to see the movie even more.

Could this be cooler? I don't think so.

Seriously! That's the best thing EVER!

Plus, I love the name of one of the groups claiming responsibility for the catacomb cinema: the Perforating Mexicans.

hip deep in pie

Thanks! Actually, they're digitally adding me into the Ewok chorus.

Does that mean the ewok song is being returned to the end? I hope so!!
