Actually, I did. But I don't own the first one and that's the only one I like.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The first one's definitely the best. The second has a couple funny bits, and the third is pretty awful. But still has maybe one funny bit.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
the third is pretty awful. But still has maybe one funny bit.
I liked the fact that there were actual sharks with fricking laser beams.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I just saw the preview for The Grudge last night and it looks like a pretty good movie. What do you guys think?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
The second has a couple funny bits, and the third is pretty awful.
The second one was worth it just for Scott Evil's glam-rock look on Jerry Springer.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Gandalfe is me, on the Seth Green glam-rock Jerry Springer front.

"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
While I wouldn't pick Without a Paddle as a great piece of filmmaking, Seth is a lot of fun in it. If you can stand 95 minutes of Matthew Lillard, it might be worth seeing. (There's a wonderful surprise guest star near the end.)
In other news, Ju-on is unexpectedly showing at a theater in my city. I expect Sunday night will be the last good night's sleep I get for some time.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
The later two Austin Powers movies made the mistake, so common in movies these days, of confusing self-reference and repetition with humor.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I didn't hate Party Monster, but I thought Macaulay Culkin was simply awful in it.
The Grudge previews creep me the frell out. I'll probably wait until it moseys along to Netflix to see it, though.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Finally caught up. So much I wanted to comment on, but I was hundreds of posts behind.
I do have to take a moment to stick up for "The Fifth Element" though, as I love that movie. Yeah, the love bit at the end is silly, but it's a fun over-the-top anime-style action movie. Though it would have been even better if Chris Tucker's character had died painfully. He's the only part of the whole thing that really bothers me.
