I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

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.

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

I hated Existenz. Despite the Jude. I prefer The Matrix because it's stylish, energetic, exciting. The Thirteenth Floor was a bit slow.

I loved the first two and liked the third.

I've seen Volcano and Dante's Peak. I don't remember which was better. Volcano was more ridiculous and therefore maybe more fun. I recall Dante's Peak being the more "serious" of the two.

I've seen Armageddon but not Deep Impact, though I've wanted to.

I've seen End of Days (only because Sleepy Hollow was sold out) but not Stigmata.

My Gabriel Byrne role is Usual Suspects, I think.

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.

Wasn't Gabriel Byrne the bad guy in End of Days?

Yup. He was the Devil.

I can generally turn my brain off and be entertained by Arnold's actioners, but End of Days took itself way too seriously to do that. The only thing I really remember about it is GB's Devil had inflammable urine which he used to blow up a van or something. Not a ringing endorsement of movie quality there.

Up with the sun

I kind of liked Existenz, because of the Jude and because it was relatively unpredictble, in a good way.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Plus EXISTENZ had one of my favorite last lines of dialog ever.

"eXistenZ is PAUSED!"

Plus EXISTENZ had one of my favorite last lines of dialog ever.

I don't remember it. That right up there is pretty much the only line I remember. Cause I loved it.

If you do tell, whitefont, cause it's been long enough that I could watch it again and not remember all the plot twists. I wonder if my friend Melanie has seen it. We do movie nights to rectify the "You haven't seen _____?!"s, and we seem to have had a predilection for ultraviolence and Ian Holm.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Rygel is the devil?

Man, who knew?

The devil is a greedy, annoying muppet? I LIKE it.

Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. -Bierce

For matrix type movies, has anyone seen Avalon? I loved it, but dreamlike polish movies directed by Japanese men are not for everyone. And that damn dog of his is in it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The Arrival came out about the same time as Independence Day. Although it was just as silly, I thought it was better done and a little funnier.
