Getting back to WKW/CD, I think I've seen Chungking Express more than any other movie, maybe 20-25 times now. Just something to be savored. And I still own it on laserdisc.
It's even tempted me to pick up some of Faye Wong's albums.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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.

move out and draw fire
Sounds potentially like THE UNINVITED with Ray Milland and , but they were brother and sister I believe, not husband and wife.
That's IT!!! Thanks Ken! (Can I still call you Ken? I've even seen the Ken Buddha sketch on MPFC now.) I should've specified it was a 40s movie.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Now I'm trying to remember the martial arts hero movie where the hero's best friend is a killer whale. (No, I'm not making that up.)

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

I'm pretty sure it had Moon in the title. But you could tell it was done because some HK exec got the high-concept idea off of Free Willy

You may, but Frank is my real name, so I've been transitioning since meeting buffistas in RL. That sketch is just such a throw away bit, but I've always loved Eric Idle's delivery on "Ken Buddha - a smile, two bangs, and a religion.".
