Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Okay, wait, we have a rapture about the Coen brothers and nobody mentions Miller's Crossing?

Because it's my favorite hands-down (seconds are Lebowski and Raising Arizona ) and I would say probably their most complex. They cribbed the plot of it from a Dashiell Hammett novel, but made it their own with a particularly sour interpretation.

I heart Miller's Crossing very, very much.

Nutty just said what I was thinking all through this conversation.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

A lapse on my part. I love it. Best use of Gabriel Byrne ever.

Pretty damned good use of Albert Finney, too.

This one's not a comedy, btw. But it is pretty freakin' great.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I am the only person in the world that is "Eh" on Lebowski

Nope.
