The "panthers" in TA:WP were so. damn. cute.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Saw Napoleon Dynamite this weekend - I'd heard that it was overrated, so I went in with pretty low expectations. I actually really enjoyed it. The narrative structure was pretty loose, I didn't know when the movie was wrapping up till I got a music cue, the story was pretty limp, but I really loved the characters, especially Napoleon's friends Pedro and Deb.
So, not a "great" movie, but I enjoyed myself the approximately hour and a half I was in there watching it.
Also, I was really convinced that La Fonda was a man, until she spoke - it may have been because Kip was so tiny in comparison.
And, WTF? regarding Uncle Rico's happy ending. I liked his ending getting the crap beat out of him. I was annoyed by that.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
True Lies
With everyone who thinks that "sense of humor" is actually an incredibly mean streak. Recall that the "hero" deceives his wife into doing a striptease for a man she thinks is a total stranger, on pain of death. It was a needlessly cruel fantasy.
The day my husband thinks that my performing a striptease empowers me is the day my husband dies of suffocation from a feather boa being stuffed down his throat.
I watched some of Hart's War on Fx last night while waiting for the baseball game. From what little I watched, I can see there's a reason it disappeared without a trace. It not only sucked, it pandered, and implied that its audience has never seen Stalag 17.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Most I remember about True Lies is that it had wee Eliza Dushku as Arny & JLC's daughter. She was cute and the usual movie-kid-spunky.
I Netflixed The Mother over the weekend. I thought it was going to be about gentle exploration of the sexuality of an older woman. I mean, OK, exploration of sexuality part is there, but it is anything but gentle. There are parts of it that are downright savage, with the kind of emotional violence that makes it really tough to watch. Hella good movie though. Ann Reid is frighteningly good. Plus, Daniel Craig? Is a sexy bitch.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Lexine, we are again, the same person.
We saw it, too and, well, aside from a couple of funny bits that I can't remember now, it was a totaly waste of the Cohen brothers time.

Aimee - the awful part is that I couldn't turn it off - I kept hoping that it would turn around, but no...and....just.....no.
Also rented the Bull Durham DVD (Yes, I own it on tape) and watched with the Kostner and Robbins commentary. Now that was funny, it was like sitting and watching the movie with them.

I only half paid attention. I slept through some of it even. I was exhausted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I owned the tape for years, and yet one of the first DVDs I bought when I got my DVD player was the special edition of Bull Durham.
