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.

"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

Aww. The movie with Caroline Dhavernas? (Hey, and Zach Galifianakis!) That's a shame.

If she was in it, I don't think she'd appeared onscreen by the time I left (pretty much as the opening credits finished, actually). Todd Holland and Bryan Fuller must have missed it as well, or they'd never have risked tainting their baby by association.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

My bad. I was thinking of Time Chasers, which is credited as being from 1997, which means the godawful FX are even more ridiculous.

Time Bandits had John Cleese as Robin Hood! I don't remember too much else about this film, though--time to Netflix.

Not just Robin Hood, but a slightly more realistic Robin Hood who stole from..... people with stuff, and gave to the....

Well, there really wasn't that second part, about the giving, so much.

Hey. New board.

The Neverending Story is totally awesome. And, yes, terrifying to wee ones. One of Wolfgang Petersen's better American works. Not that that's saying a lot.

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

I loved Mars Attacks. Any movie that starts with a running herd of flaming cattle has got to be great.

Emmett loves this movie too. It caused him to opine, "Violence is cool!"
