Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This is where I express my shock and horror at the utter absence of Barry Lyndon in this conversation, right?

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

Chrisitan Bale may have joined the Teamsters' Union.

It's a signal that he's in an illicit relationship with Orlando.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

This is Buffista conversation #5,132, right? I think that's where you come in, Jessica. :)

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

A Clockwork Orange is the only movie I've ever rented, turned off about 15 minutes in, and returned within the hour. I was too disgusted to continue.

But aren't the first fifteen minutes just Malcolm MacDowell staring into the camera without blinking?

Unless I dismember, he doesn't stop blinking until a ways in. I think he hits up a moloko bar, and maybe indulges in some GBH.

"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

The article that went with that picture I found said that Bale put back on the 63 pounds he lost for The Machinist in six weeks in order to try out for Batman. And, one would assume, it was muscle weight rather than fat as they didn't cast him as Donutman instead.

The mental image of him going on a 'roid rage while bulking up really shouldn't be funny, but it is.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

my shock and horror at the utter absence of Barry Lyndon

I call myself a movie-lover for having actually sat through both Days of Heaven and 1900. I am sad to report that I have missed the Ryan O'Neal in short pants and fluffy shirtsleeves movie.

I have also never seen The Leopard, The Sweet Smell of Success, or any single Jimmy Cagney movie all the way through.

My movie-lover certification came after I sat though a broadcast of Angels and Insects late one night. I should have opted for watching paint dry instead.

I have missed the Ryan O'Neal in short pants and fluffy shirtsleeves movie.

Also (from what I understand) a hauntingly pretty scene lit entirely by candlelight.
