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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Do I still count as a girl?

Absolutely not. You won't get your girl card back until you can tell what 2 colors are Shelby's wedding colors.

t so totally kidding

All is well that ends in pizza.

Thing is, the chick flicks moniker was basically coined as a derogatory description of films which "women loved" but "real men" were not supposed to have any interest in.

That list? Not really in the groove on that definition, either.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Blush and bashful, right? (responding to Aimée)

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

I like genre where buff (black guys) goof around, often shirtless and sometimes sweaty, and at the end realise that they really do need to settle down with a lovely girl, the one they've been fighting against all flick.

I'm not sure if it's a chick flick or not, but it sure is pretty.

If I only had a brain...

I like genre with swordfighting. And swooshy lace cuffs. And girls swordfighting in swooshy lace cuffs.

I am a woman of simple and basic tastes.

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

Waiting To Exhale is a traditional chick flick, with colour. The Brothers is an example of the masquerading movie I really appreciate.

Swordfighting with big lacy cuffs makes me nervous.

replace "girl" with "boy" and I'm right there with you.

Out of those top 25 chick flicks, I've only seen "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion," but that is a great movie.
