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.

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!"

Mmmm, one of my favorite movies of all time is now playing on TCM--Singin' in the Rain! Donald O'Connor is singing "Make 'Em Laugh" as I type this (a fun song, even if it is a complete ripoff of Porter's "Be a Clown").

I have a plan.

Anybody here like the Dark Crystal? Personally, I loved it and would watch it over any old Neverending Story any day of the week. Dog Dragon Dog or no.

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

I saw that so so long ago. But I believe I liked it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I saw Dark Crystal once, I think. I remember liking it pretty well, but I was pretty young. I should netflix it. (eta: Basically, P-C is me)

"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

The Dark Crystal was beautiful. It did so much more for me than any other kid-oriented fantasy movie of my childhood, Labyrinth included. I had a much more emotional response to Jim Henson's Creature Shop than I did to so many sub-par human actors of the time. This still tends to be true (Farscape, anyone?)
