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.

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

I'm curious, though: Jess, you said there were crypoints for you -- what were they?

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?

"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

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.

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!

Withnail and I is a good movie to match the charactes drink-for-drink.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The Incredibles is the bestest movie ever and I want to have Brad Bird's children even more than I did before. Joe, Emma and I are going as them next year for Halloween.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Aimee, did you know there's an adorable AA Milne poem called Emmeline?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Joins Aimee and the rest of you all in the Incredibles love. I want to see it again, like now!
