I saw the Breakfast Club in the theater something like 25 times - my buddy worked at the theater, so we got in free. At least one time, it was the last showing, and we were the only ones in the theater, so the projectionist turned the sound up REAL LOUD, especially for the opening.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Unfortunately, yes.
Ok, Jessica. Let me ask you this: Was the moral of that story supposed to be "Always open your mail on time ?"
Just curious.

Art Crawl!!!
Aimee! Bwahahahaha!
I haven't seen the movie -- reading the book for book club left me with no desire whatsoever to see the movie.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Reign of Fire is pretty dumb, and there's not nearly enough dragon action, although the dragons look pretty damn cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Reign Of Fire is a thinly veiled dialectic on post-colonial relations. As such, I enjoyed it mightily.
As a display of sweaty manflesh, also a rousing success (so that's where Bashir got to).
As an action movie, okay.

Well, and there's the re-enactment of Star Wars, which is good for a chuckle or three.

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.

I was extremely disappointed in Reign of Fire. Based on the previews and the movie posters I was expecting battles between dragons and modern military hardware. Fighter jets and helicopters dog fighting with great wyrms in the skies. Obviously, this didn't happen.
The Star Wars bit was good, though.

Good. I'm glad I am not the on;y one who was left completely unmoved by this movie.

Note to self: When seeing über-creepy Japanese ghost movie in which the ghost's lethal manifestations are accompanied by creaky clacking wood sounds, notably in a public restroom, do not immediately follow up by going to a restaurant whose men's room has a spring-activated door that makes almost exactly the same sound .

Note to Matt: At least you would be in the proper place to piss in your pants.
