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.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

What, game-wise, sets Doom aside from any other first-person-shooter games?

Nothing that is immediately translatable to the film format. Doom & Doom II had some of the best designed levels of any game ever, along with great monster design but that's really it. The fame of the game lies with the sheer fun of running around shooting zombies and demons.

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

I could care less about a Tekken 3 movie, though, as I've never seen 1 or 2, and I'm not really feeling the lack.

One of the main reasons you've never seen Tekken 1 or Tekken 2 is that they don't exist. The movies, that is. I've never seen the games played, so I have no attachment to them going onscreen. But I do like the Tekken 3 characters quite a bit. Plus? Capoeira!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Is Tekken 3 the one where the jaguar-man King is introduced? I once had an arcade full of spectators watching me beat my pal Mike and then about 11 cycles against the game itself while playing that character. All the more impressive since it was the first time I'd played that iteration and I'm normally not all that good at videogames.

Up with the sun

We saw Shaun of the Dead last night.

So very funny.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You know, I know Jude Law has had a rough time personally, but how excited am I that he's in like every movie coming out for a year? Pretty darn happy. Saw the Closer trailer last night, and....Ooh. Also realized I have waited long enough to see Sky Captain that I can use my free ticket now! (It's not good the first 10 days of a run.)

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

I've seen the I Heart Huckabees trailer twice now, and I keeps on wanting to see it. Still more Jude Law.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

What the hell is Closer about? I saw the trailer for it yesterday, and it confused the hell out of me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Uh, two couples?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But actually: Jude Law and Clive Owen, doing stuff. And possibly some other people.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Jesse is me re: Closer.
