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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Actually, I don't. Not on DVD, anyway.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

Yeah...there's Austin Powers, but something with a little more class would be nice.

Austin Powers didn't even come to mind.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Saw National Treasure. It was good. Not as good as Pirates of the Carribbean, by any means, but good. See if you can guess the password before Ben Gates does!

Also, just saw Christmas with the Kranks. Apparently most of the audience liked it. I was ready to walk out about ten minutes in. Not funny, not heartwarming, not good. And some people applauded at the end! I was also distracted by Jamie Lee Curtis actually looking older than she really is. And by her shimmery pale eyeshadow.

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

The Criterion Spinal Tap's been out of print for ages. There's another version out there, that's the one most people have. (Same goes for all of the out-of-print ones, I think -- Criterion let their rights lapse, so someone else released them.)

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Well, no one at the tv wiki can answer this, nor can anyone on the IMDB discussion forums. I guess it is time to bring out the big guns, and unleash the Buffistas.

"… an 80s-vintage teen-oriented movie or TV movie in which a kid with a little red wagon was going around in the background (as a subplot) arranging an incredibly complex chain of deals. It was handled like a running gag, except at the end, the kid was shown walking off having accomplished what he wanted. Anyone got a title on this?"

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It wasn't Better Off Dead, was it?

Steph, I think the running gag there was the paperboy determined to collect. It also got a shout-out in "Say Anything."

Radio Flyer?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Better Off Dead is what came to mind, but I know it's not it. This is very familiar, though. Crap. This will drive me nuts.

Up with the sun

The kid making deals question rings dim bells for me, too, but I also can't place it.

The Criterion Spinal Tap's been out of print for ages. There's another version out there, that's the one most people have.

I just checked, and I have the Criterion one. Is it worth anything?

Oh, and THANK YOU everyone for going on about The Incredibles until I felt I had to see it. It was really an amazing movie.
