"We're on a mission from God."
Favorite t-shirt of Mormon missionaries everywhere.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

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 are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
"Oh, we have both kinds of music--Country and Western!"
"Rawhide" is another stellar moment.

That was our (Catholic) high school homecoming motto my freshman year (fall 1980).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think my favorite is Ray Charles doing "Land of a Thousand Dances,"
I think he does "Shake A Tail Feather."
During the making of the movie, John Belushi threw a party for all the musicians. He put on an Otis Redding record and Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn (part of Otis' backing band. Cropper was also his song-writing partner) looked over at each other, absolutely stricken. Belushi ran over, worried, and asked what was wrong. They said they hadn't listened to Otis since he died. It was too painful.

I had to change my tagline.
Also love Cab Calloway doing "Minnie the Moocher".

Oops, you're right, Hec, it is "Shake a Tail Feather." I got the listing of dances at the end confused with the other song. Still, I love the dancing in the streets of Calumet City.

Seeing Ackroyd thin ... and wondering how many cigarettes he was smoking and how many drugs he was doing to stay that way ...

"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
All of which makes me so very sad "Blues Brothers 2000" ever got made. The case might as well have just lined up and relieved themselves on Belushi's grave and saved money.

And the deadpan performances from both him and Belushi. I loved how straightforward they were when anything strange happened, such as a rocket launcher taking out the SRO building they were staying in.
Speaking of, "Hey, boy, did you get me my Cheese Whiz?" I always imagined that he picked it up at the Jewel during the mall chase scene.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
And the deadpan performances from both him and Belushi.
Belushi dropping Carrie Fisher in the sewer after passionately kissing her is one of the funniest moments on film EVAH.
"You traded the Bluesmobile for a microphone?!?....I can see that."
E: "Illinois Nazis."
J: "I hate Illinois Nazis."
It's a shame you can't go to the real movies with two robot side-kicks.
That would be so awesome. I should totally get robot sidekicks. To go with my guard llama.
Get a couple of DRDs Roombas.
