Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned  

Closed Film and TV threads

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 sure would. The witches are even more cold and evil than in BB&C. Veronica Lake is very cool.

Oooh. Okay, now I have to find a copy.

Somebody in the audience went "Ewwww" at the vision of Gillian in pastels. Also her cool mask shop was all crapola tchotchkes now.

I first saw BB&C when I was about nine. I was watching it on tv w/ my parents; after the movie was over, I ranted indignantly from the depths of my nine-year-old heart about how the ending was ALL WRONG, and a REAL witch could fall in love AND keep her powers, and I would NEVER do something like that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The one thing about the ending that made it slightly more palatable to me, was that it wasn't presented as a choice, that she feared and resented the change (at first anyway), and it was presented as a bit tragic.

"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

That used to be me until hearing his big Chinese newspaper rant about how much he hates speaking English, eating American food, and having to deal with Westerners while counting the seconds until he can leave our polluted shores for homeshooting movies.

Damned foreigners.

I mean, it is pretty grace-deficient to take the millions and run, but he just was tactless enough to say in public.
