We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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 hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Take a look at this still, Steph.

He's got a weird Tom-Cruise-without-the-smarm look going on.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Sadly, I don't think he'll ever look like this or this again, as all the weight yo-yoing for various roles has aged him well beyond his All the Little Animals appearance.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Sadly, I don't think he'll ever look like this again

I don't think that's a sad thing.

His looks have improved with age.

Though I'm feeling a weird urge for Newsies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is this one of those times I find out I have no idea what 30 looks like?

I think facially he was at his best in '98 (the beatific expression frequently worn by his mentally disabled character probably didn't hurt), but the many, many pounds of muscle added for American Psycho, Reign of Fire, and Equilibrium are much appreciated.

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

Want.

He looks disturbingly like Dylan McDermott there.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Why I love the Buffistas: last time I was watching Back to the Future II, and tried to explain to the guy I was watching with why Biff got back to the wrong 2015, he looked at me as if I were insane and said, "It's just a movie. You're not supposed to think about it."

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

So I finally saw Jaws.

Dude. That was PG ? That was fucking brutal.

I said I'd never seen it, but I think I'd seen parts near the end, but none of the first hour-and-a-half or so. Which are some of the best parts. Cause you don't see the shark for most of it, and Spielberg does a great job of both not telegraphing the scares and then not making a big deal out of them, which only makes it even more effective. I'm sleep-deprived, so towards the latter half of the Orca section, I had a hard time paying attention (it was a constant repetition of see-shark/attach-barrel-to-shark/let-shark-get-away/wait). But it's a pretty great movie, and I don't see how anything'll ever come close to dethroning its status as The Definitive Shark Movie.

And yeah, the head-in-the-boat made me jump. Fucking hell.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Okay, I've spent the last ten minutes thinking about the Great Back to the Future III Conundrum, and... my head hurts. Oh, but also I think I have a solution!

See, if The Doc had used the fuel line from the Delorean he took with him to the 1800s, he would be left with a busted car when Marty left, right? So in another hundred years or so, Marty would find the car and be unable to take it back to the past, because it would have a busted fuel line, thus causing a universe-shattering paradox. Or something.
