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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

So basically, I'm going to see this movie whether it sucks or not?

Damn.

Shit. link to the trailer?

I know. I was really enjoying the smug superiority of my scorn at the idea, but then the trailer made me laugh my ass off. It's one of those things where it's not the funniest thing ever, and it's not even all that clever, but the *timing* is perfect. And timing is everything.

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

Not actually avian, despite the -duck.

I think you are limiting yourself after all. I think geoducks are just as ripe for exploitation as your average duck. The rest of the bird family is just not as rich.

Here's cute movie idea:

"Chad Schmidt" concerns an actor who moves to Los Angeles in the late 1980s to pursue his dream of movie stardom -- only to find he bears a strong resemblance to another up-and-coming actor named Brad Pitt. As Pitt's career reaches a dazzling level of fame, Schmidt becomes an uncastable joke.

Starring, they plan, Brad Pitt as Chad.

How about geoducks? They're kinda begging for the porn.

Not actually avian, despite the -duck.

I think perhaps sex with a geoduck is an even squickier prospect than sex with a duck.

At least from the woman's perspective.

Isn't it a duck that has that corkscrew penis? That's gotta be .. oh, god, just looking for adjectives is squicking me.

Sorry, but it sounds WAY too much like the craptastic watch-from-the-hall plan in Ocean's 12.

But a gooey slimey gelatinous non-firm geoduck? If I want that experience I don't need a bivalve for that. Flaciddity can be found amongst the humans.

Didn't I already see this movie? Didn't it star Brad Rowe? Oh wait, that was real life.

Well, Rowe did get a buzzcut to differentiate their looks a bit. Right before Pitt did likewise. Wa wa wa.

If I only had a brain...

I am thinking, avian bestiality can be categorically ruled out of movies, even if Lea Thompson is not a participant therein.

Brewster McCloud. Great movie.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

if your movie has a duck it shouldn't have a sex scene with Lea Thompson.

Sheesh, that was about the only fun the movie had to offer, outside of Jefferey Jones and an odd early career note for Tim Robbins.

It shoulda been done like ROGER RABBIT, but that came later so they didn't realize that would fly (no pun intended).
