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.

I believe he became a Lord the same way Lawrence Olivier became a Lord--the Queen and her minions said, "Nope, he needs more than just Sir Andrew. Slap a Lordship on that man." Then Her Majesty smacked him around with a sword and that was that.

Actually, IIRC, it was colossal donations to the Conservative party.

How do you know this?
I think I read it in a news item at the time he was ennobled and, disturbingly, remembered it.

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

So, she did it mostly to have a chance to smack him with a sword again...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I thought to be a Lord you had to have big... tracts of land.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Can't help it. Still going to see the damn thing tonight. I can't stop myself! And I'm actually excited about it! It's like I'm a 14-year-old all over again!

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.
I actually liked the musical when I saw it 12 or so years ago, though I have no desire to see the movie.
