And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Well, it would also explain how Tom Cruise came to be in charge of it. I think I would not trust him to park my car properly.

Also, you know what? If Max von Sydow is in charge of it, you've got yourself a pretty good guarantee that It's Going To Go Badly.

I think this must be the kind of dystopia where all of the people above a certain IQ have already fled to Canada, and the truly stupid are left to fight over control of the country.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Laughs ass off at adorableness of Aimee.

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

And trial lawyers have all been imprisoned because they hate America.

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

But, like, who designed this system, where a guy who has a brief murderous thought goes into Zombie Therapy, and someone like Ken Lay isn't even on the radar?

Well, to be fair, the notoriously paranoid Philip K. Dick - they didn't really screw with the basic premise much (which is pretty much all that the story is), just added their own story.

Also, you know what? If Max von Sydow is in charge of it, you've got yourself a pretty good guarantee that It's Going To Go Badly.

Unless it's an exorcism. Granted, it didn't go well for either priest, but it worked.

Up with the sun

Is there a web page explaining the BttF II/III time inconsistencies? I am curious, but afraid of what I would bring about if I asked MM, Sean and Lilty to explain inthread.

And keep Max away from Canadian beer.

And keep Max away from Canadian beer.

Also, chessboards. And spaceships.

However, he'd be the go-to guy if you want to take out a CIA think tank.

I have a plan.

Gah. Doomsday Book just about killed me. To Say Nothing of the Dog was delightful, but it didn't stay with me as long as Doomsday Book.

Doom and doom tends to make more of an impression than whimsical romp. I liked them both but, yeah, Doomsday Book will stick around longer.
