I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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.

Eyeliner on men is awesome.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Maysa, the tape is probably going to be PAL, which means it won't play in an average American VCR, unless you have a multisystem. If it's NTSC, there shouldn't be any problem.

I spent the '80s in Oxford shirts, lambswool sweaters, and jeans.

Betsy is me, although I admit to owning a narrow leather tie at one point. Sigh.

I really have NO fashion sense to speak of.

I checked the website and I think it's in PAL. I'm not sure what my VCR is, but it probably won't play that format. Oh, well! Thanks for the information, guys.

The Onion asks Why No One Want Make Hulk 2?

Many unanswered questions from last Hulk movie. What happen to puny human Banner in rainforest? Is there cure for Hulk? Will General Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross leave Hulk alone? Is there future with Betty Ross? Where villains that make comic so great, like Abomination, Wendigo, and Leader? Hulk hate Leader and Leader's big head. What happen to Grey Hulk? And where Hulk's friend Rick Jones? He only one that understand Hulk. Rick? Rick!? Raaaaahhhh! Sometimes Hulk so sad and alone.

Back to Hulk movie. Hulk visualize Hulk trilogy like Matrix, but no spiritual mumbo-jumbo. Crazy mumbo-jumbo make Hulk's head hurt! Hulk work out treatment for next movie Hulkself. It have everything in Hulk, only more intense. In this movie, Hulk smash for first 20 minutes. Give fanboys something to hang fanboy hats on. Then have romance, for women ages 24 to 40. Very important demographic if want make movie real summer blockbuster.

Then Leader come, bring Abomination. Him try to wreck everything by capturing Hulk. Then Hulk smash more! Hulk smash Leader and Abomination! Hulk smash tanks, too! That nod to first film. Hulk love scene where Hulk throw tank into horizon. At end of movie, cliffhanger. Put people on edge of seats. Like Hulk say, always leave puny humans wanting more.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Your link's empty, dude.

And see, my Hulk knowledge comes from The Ultimates, which contains the immortal line: "HULK WANT FREDDIE PRINZE, JR.!"

Compassionately intolerant

Delayed comment on Minority Report.

The thing, of the very many things, that bugged me the most was the benevolent-fatherly-boss-figure turns out to be the baddie. I'm so. completely. done. with that plot point. You can see it coming as far away as LA Confidential. Maybe even farther.

Is there some Greek tragedy that we can thank for that tired dodge?
