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.

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

Oh those tragically spitting-up-blood heroines! (Okay, that is what delicate coughs into hankies are for.)

Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down was rated X probably because, as the title indicates, the rampant sex was of the slightly S/M, and possible-to-interpret-as-slightly-non-con, variety. Also, involving drug use.

I like to think that Almodovar is gravitating back towards his roots, which if you've ever seen Law of Desire, is basically gay soap opera, with occasional violence. Alas that he no longer has Antonio Banderas to strip naked for the camera.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does this mean we'll be seeing junkie nuns again?

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

Gael Garcia Bernal in graphic sex scenes--Ooh Lordy, even if I wasn't a huge Almodovar fan, I would so be there.

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

Why is this happening?

If I only had a brain...

I saw the preview of it with National Treasure.

Now I must poke my eyeballs out.

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

There are no words.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

But while drop zones, demolitions and destroying enemy targets come naturally to Shane, he has no idea what tough really is until he pits his courage against diapering, den-mothering and driver's education. He's truly a SEAL out of water, and now it's up to this one-time lone warrior to take on the most important mission of his life: keeping a family together.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Is Mark Burnette behind it? It sounds like the big-screen version of "Commando Nanny".

Re. consumptive opera/literary heroines. I'm fairly sure there are more of those than Camille & Mimi, but my brain is like a sieve this morning and I can't think of any.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Why is this happening?

Because the one person who liked "Suburban Commando" is now a high-level movie exec?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Shane is suddenly faced with the juggling two outrageously incompatible jobs: fighting the bad guys while keeping house.

Outrageous! Not to mention Wacky! Zany! Madcap!
