I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

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 generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

According to IMDB, she's 5'11", he's 6'2 1/2".

And, BTW, according to Guinness Book, the tallest leading actor of all time is Christopher Lee, at 6'5".

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

Hugh Jackman, 6'2"? Nonsense. In interviews, he usually cops to being 5'11".

(And I think he is like Brad Pitt and George Clooney, i.e. the sort of guy who is like, No I am not six foot. So?)

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

And, BTW, according to Guinness Book, the tallest leading actor of all time is Christopher Lee, at 6'5".

Shaquille O'Neal has played the lead in a couple of films.

Hugh Jackman, 6'2"? Nonsense. In interviews, he usually cops to being 5'11".

I dunno, it sounds about right to me after seeing him in Oklahoma!, unless everyone else was really short.

Shaquille O'Neal has played the lead in a couple of films.

Still not an actor.

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

Still not an actor.

Sadly, I think all we can say is that he's not a good actor.

I came to the conclusion, though, that Sarah Vowell's not only not an actor, she's not acting in The Incredibles. She's reading. To great effect, but she's reading.

"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

Shaquille O'Neal has played the lead in a couple of films.

Maybe the people making the determination suffered traumatic amnesia after seeing Kazaam! and don't remember the movie at all?

I have a plan.

Hey, don't forget his action epic 'Double Team' with Jean Claud Van something or other.

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

My favorite line is near the end, when the forensic psychologist, played by Max Von Sydow, turns to Donald Sutherland (the political officer) and Stephen Rhea (the cop who's been chasing the serial killer) and tells them "It's been a pleasure working with you. Together, the two of you make a wonderful person."

Yes! I loved that line!

Hey, don't forget his action epic 'Double Team' with Jean Claud Van something or other.

I think that was Dennis Rodman, not Shaq.

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

Definitely Rodman.

That movie has my favourite product placement ever. The soda saves the day.
