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.
I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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.

So awesome. So hysterical.
I didn't stay to talk to him afterwards, simply because I had a feeling the first question I'd ask would have been, "Can I give you a hug?" And we've been specifically warned not to do that to our guests.
But he is definitely the coolest.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wankers!
Apparently all of MGM's 'theatrical wide screen' DVD releases for the last few years have been the pan-scanned versions with the top and bottoms cut off.

If you own any of the eligible movies, you have until March 31 to either opt to exchange your copy for $7.10, or a new DVD from MGM, presumably in its proper aspect ratio."
eta: PDF list of movies eligible for replacement, etc. (site has been slashdotted so is a little slow now)
Damn, there are a lot of movies involved....

I look more rad than Lutheranism
At first glance, it looks like the only movie on that list that I own in DVD format is Bull Durham, which you can DAMN betcha I want in the proper aspect ratio.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Lotta Buffista favorites on that list, like The Princess Bride, The Cutting Edge, and Bull Durham [ eta: xposty]. Of the movies I own, there are four on that list: TPB, Some Like It Hot, The Sum of Us, and Y Tu Mama Tambien. Will have to go home and watch them now to see if they look wrong.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I've got Carrie off of that. Hmm.

Up with the sun
I have The Princess Bride, Spinal Tap, and 24 Hour Party People. I probably won't bothter with the exchange, though.
