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.

'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"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is this a saying? I've heard/read it twice in the last two weeks, but not before that, I don't think.
I've usually heard "I wouldn't piss in his ear if his brain was on fire."

I'll have the main three Julie Andrews musicals on DVD and/or tape (I probably should replace my tape of Sound of Music with the DVD eventually)--Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, and Victor/Victoria. She was probably the first actress I can remember putting on the Film Diva level as a child, later joined by Judy Garland. She's the only person who ever made me first speechless, and then had me babbling when I met her.

You've got to learn to run away before the babbling.
Well, at least that's my MO.

Well, she was signing a book for me, and I just had to say something, so I blurted, "I'm just so thrilled to meet you!" and would have continued if she hadn't finished signing and her handler very smoothly moved me on.
I felt like an idiot later, but I don't think I was the only one in that line to have that reaction.

I know a guy who walked up to Roseanne Barr and told her "My girlfriend's having a baby!" and then bolted.
Truth was ... his girlfriend was having a baby. And he was very excited about it. He was also very excited about meeting Roseanne, since he'd worshipped her standup for a long time. Those two wires got crossed in the heat of the moment, and it sounds like a miracle he didn't die of embarassment right there.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I've usually heard "I wouldn't piss in his ear if his brain was on fire."
My favorite on this is "If you were drowning, I'd piss in the water just to raise the level"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
"I wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire." I've said it. Many times. Only once have I vowed not to piss on someone in the same circumstances.
But then, they really whipped my chicken, so it was deserved.

to soldiers, the enemy is basically a bunch of zombies.
Funny you should say that, I was just watching Day of the Dead and thinking "this is the best film ever made about Fallujah!"

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Both Dawn Of The Dead and Black Hawk Down are basically remakes of Zulu (via Fort Apache) in which the Zulus are entirely portrayed as a single faceless antlike entity. Also cf Starship Troopers for a satire on this very trope.
