Buffistas

That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

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.

If I only had a brain...

Alexander? SO not gay.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown is my favorite movie. And I am so not normally a kitchy person, but I love it all down to the Mambo Taxi and the Vespa Ride of Doom. You'll never look at gazpacho the same way again.

Or Banderas. All his roles back in Spain were like this--nerdy and awkward characters. Then he crossed the ocean and started playing a Mexican and became a sexual dynamo. As for gazpacho, Spaniards have always had an unhealthy (to my mind--nasty stuff) fixation on that particular soup/beverage.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I *adore* Mambo Taxi!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm envisioning a Spanish version of Crazy Taxi.

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

Note to world: Law of Desire is not actually a good enough movie to seek out. I saw it on (unexpurgated) television, and I rate it above dubbed Cary Grant movies, but below dubbed Poseidon Adventure, on the enjoyably bad scale.

Close, but also not so much. You need to see this flick, man. Mujer al Borde de Atacque de Nervios is the untranslated title. Goooood stuff.

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

Upon seeing the preview for Pacifier, my not-boyfriend said Diesel was following Schwartzenegger's example of mixing bad broad comedy with action movies to give him a more cuddly image.

I was about to say, it sounds a heck of a lot like Kindergarten Cop.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I have no opinion on Moulin Rouge as the trailers repelled me enough to stay far far away. SO not my thing. Also it bugged the crap out of me to hear it so praised and awarded when Hedwig was released the same year, was so damned fabulous, and yet not Oscar-nominated. Hrmph.

I saw Finding Neverland yesterday. I enjoyed it but expected it to be better. It was pretty schmoopy but very pretty.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

The key to enjoying Moulin Rouge is acceptance that in spirit it's a Bollywood musical, or better yet, an absinthe hallucination.

Are Nutty and I the only Buffistas who have seen Kinsey so far?
