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.

"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

There's a moment in a recent X-Men comic where...

There's something similar in an "X-Men" a few years back, when Trish Tilby breaks up with Hank McCoy because of the press calling their relationship beastiality. While I'm all for comics being more mature in what they'll talk about, they're getting potentially squicky more often too.

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

Inflationists, you say?

Hmmm.

they're getting potentially squicky more often too.

Dude, every time I watched Odo kiss Kira, my mind went places they didn't need to go. Much like the idea of Mystique/Destiny -- sex between a shapeshifter and someone who knows the future. Interesting.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Furries? Inflationists?! Are these kinky subcultures of which I'm unaware?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm kind of surprised you don't know what furries are, actually, and I'm not sure if I have any basis for that surprise.

I can't even.

What Dana said.

I thought for sure Jon would be familiar with the Geek Hierarchy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes. You should be aware of furries. Just because. Inflationists I think Hec made up.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Movie I hated: The Cable Guy.

Only movie I have ever started but not finished watching. And I sat through both Steel and Battlefield Earth.

Tough? You don't even know y'all.

"Hey baby. Want me to change its shape? Make it bumpy, or grow two extra ones?"

"Nah, you still won't be very good."

If I only had a brain...

Sort of like the inflationists who first saw Violet blow up into a blueberry in Willy Wonka or ballet dancers who saw The Red Shoes.

Apparently enlightenment for a lot of gay men of the previous generation came from watching "Nothin' Like A Dame" in the movie of South Pacific. It was an Aha! moment.

Loved it. My favorite Carry movie (although that's not saying much.)
