Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Remember, peeps, quick edit is your FRIEND.

A quick-edited post *never* leaks formatting all over the damn place.

I'm totally missing the profundity of these lines.

Which is funny, because in my exceedingly morbid state, I was thinking about them tonight as we left the house, about how death takes the stories with it, silencing them, so that everything a person has seen and done just vanishes, and how incredibly sad that is.

No, I don't have any idea why I'm feeling exceedingly grim tonight.

But I am, so I was thinking about those lines.

Again.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You know what? I was reading them as independent of each other. It works much better when I read it as the soliloquy it's intended to be. Now I see what you're talking about.

See? Mucho deep, or somethin'!

It did crack me up to come home and see this discussion, though. On account of the whole had just been thinking about it thing. Now I'm morbid, but amused.

Ah cheez whiz. Not me again. Sorry.

Gave me a chance to exercise my powers for good. Those are rare and shit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tonoght I was up for some mindless entertainment. So despite making fun of it, I saw I, Robot. I went in with no expectations except maybe pretty special effects--and that was what it delivered. Nothing about it was original, but lots of shiny stuff to look at.

And, um, Will Smith was good.

Is it worth it for the naked?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

There is naked?

A friend had Bad Boys 2 on tonight. Never saw the first one, or the first half of this one, but if there's one thing Michael Bay can do, it's film Will Smith to look particularly pretty.

He was in an odd pose for a person in the shower. I think the odd pose was so you couldn't see his naughty bits. You could sorta see his butt though.

He goes without his shirt quite a lot.

Thanks P.M.

Bad Boys I & II are pretty much only good for the Will-shirtless.

I saw II specifically because I caught a glimpse of Henry Rollins in the preview.

They should TELL you when that glimpse is all your gonna get for the whole damn movie.
