That shit'll fuck you up.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

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.

My personal favourite is drinking every time Frodo looks meaningfully at Sam in LotR.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have a friend who once thought up a drinking game (one we never dared play) called "Keeping Up with the Oldsters." It involved renting an old film from the 40s or 50s, like The Thin Man, and then trying to keep up with the characters whenever they drink. We figured that you'd probably pass out if you even tried it.

I have a plan.
You definitely would if you played it with 'The Thin Man'.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Nora: Say, how many drinks have you had?
Nick: This will make six martinis.
Nora (to waiter): All right. Will you bring me five more martinis, Leo? And line them right up here.

Also, saw The Incredibles this afternoon. SUCH a kick-ass movie. The closing credits are right up there with the Alex Ross Spider-Man 2 opening credits in terms of Really Fucking Awesome.
I'm curious, though: Jess, you said there were crypoints for you -- what were they? Because I didn't have any, and while I am heartless, I usually tear up when appropriate.
Also, Syndrome is totally the Heat Miser. It made me laugh. And I *need* a lava wall in my apartment.

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

I'm not Jess (duh!), but the crypoint in the movie for me was when Mr. Incredible tried to keep his wife out of the fight at the end, and kind of broke down and said "I can't lose you again!"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yep, that was one. And also when the kids got to use their powers. And pretty much any time any family member saved one of the others. Which means that by the time I've seen this a few more times (I tried today, but it was sold out), I'm going to be a complete wreck during the entire thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've seen The Incredibles three times. Am I currently in the lead?

Okay, Nick and Nora Charles could drink movie Vikings or Karen Allen's character from Raiders of the Lost Ark under the table. In fact, Peter O'Toole might decide to sit that contest out. Pick your battles wisely, people!
