Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing 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.

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

He was flirting with a cigarette girl.

That's how Fred and Barney met Wilma and Betty.

That's how Fred and Barney met Wilma and Betty.

But they turned out to be much saner, ironically.

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

That's how Fred and Barney met Wilma and Betty.

Imagine what Howard Hughes could've done with the Spruce Goose if he'd had access to pterodactyls.

Yep, he ran into his press agent and joined him at the table, ordering milk instead of the "tea" that everyone else was enjoying (this was during Prohibition, which I forgot until the agent used a euphamism for the booze). The agent was hitting on the girl first by using the standard "hey, doll, you're beautiful" lines, but Howard was much more direct.

Thanks again, Kathy. I was thinking there would be about 15 minutes of previews so I thought I'd get in on time. I guess they don't show too many with shows that have been there awhile, or are as long as this one.

Up with the sun

I thought Kissing Jessica Stein was sweet, but agree that it wasn't especially believable. I liked some of the writing, though.

I saw Chinatown last night. It took me a while to get into the story, but once I did -- wow. And I totally never knew jack Nicholson used to be sexy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kissing Jessica Stein irritated me more than not -- I didn't care if either of these people were happy by the end, and then there was the implausible thing to boot.

Always Anti-fascist!

I liked Jessica Stein, but nothing like my unholy "Chinatown" love!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Thanks again, Kathy. I was thinking there would be about 15 minutes of previews so I thought I'd get in on time. I guess they don't show too many with shows that have been there awhile, or are as long as this one.

A lot of movie theaters in my city are starting the previews before the listed start time for the actual movie, because they (the previews) have gotten so long that people started bitching about the movie not starting "on time." Maybe that's what happened with your theater, quester.

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

I don't usually mind the previews just the Coke, Fanta, Marine recruitment, and Buick commercials before the previews.
