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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Apparently it's the punchline to a dirty joke.
That would be the one. Huh.

Regarding the white font upthread -
I cannot even begin to describe how much I hate Michael Medved. This is the same guy who hated Pulp Fiction because of its so-called loose morals. He never judges on artistic content, only on whether the movie fits into his right-wing world view.

Compassionately intolerant
Ya know. I don't even like Clint Eastwood. Nor am I interested in MDB or it's cast, but the whitefont has inspired me to go see the damn movie...in the theatre just to spite Limbaugh and Medved.
Screwm.
With my nuclear hate for both of them, I could single handedly turn that movie into Passion of the Clint.
Just watch me.

Always Anti-fascist!
Well, as a lefty and a disabled person, I feel obligated now, to see this film, write about it and piss off at least one set of my friends by so doing. Good times! And, yet, not a first. Being a disabled lefty is very hard in this regard. Lucky I'm a hot chick with superpowers.And, um, can't we do anything else in movies, ever? Besides Teach People To Live, that is. All those movies...we do it, you still don't get it, and *we're* slow.

The irony of the neo-cons going after Clint is...I don't have words.
Granted, Clint has never been your standard issue Convervative anyway. He's expressed enough dismay over how DIRTY HARRY ended up being taken as a cultural icon (and gone out of his to turn him into a bit of joke), that I've always had a soft spot for his particular brand of Republicanism.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The fact the Sean Penn and Tim Robbins worked with him (and he with them) and they all seem to have real respect for each other, shows me Clint is no neocon.

Oh yeah, but nobody's ever going to mistake Clint for a lefty. Unless the neo-cons have driven him to it (and given that they are going after him, it wouldn't surprise me one bit).

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan
Ray Harryhausen came to speak to us tonight! He is so awesome, and I want to adopt him and make him my new grandfather. Because he's the greatest. We'll hang out, and draw, and sculpt, and watch movies all day long. And it will be awesome.
One quote from Ray to Leonard Maltin, while talking about how unimpressed today's audiences are: "Everybody's a critic nowadays. (beat, then an aside) That's your profession, isn't it?"
Hmm. Maybe you had to be there. But it was hysterical.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Holy crap, that's awesome!
And I'm pretty sure that line was totally hysterical, imagining the delivery.
