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.

No mention of the Nick Roeg version of The Man Who Fell To Earth

SMACKS OWN FOREHEAD

Talk about intellectual sci-fi. If P-C thinks Brazil is obtuse...

eta I should make clear I LOVE The Man Who Fell to Earth.

Always Anti-fascist!

I liked it a lot and science fiction...I don't know. Despite my early start at being a Star Wars geek, I find it hard to connect with sometimes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So, Catwoman.

It's really bad. Really really bad.

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

Yay! I can't wait!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Jess, why do you put yourself through these things? Are you punishing yourself for something?

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

Jess, why do you put yourself through these things? Are you punishing yourself for something?

It was so she could warn us. She took one for the team. Threw herself on a life hand-grenade. So to speak.

I sacrifice myself so that others may be warned.

Stay far far away from this movie. It's so bad.

And if staying away isn't an option, I suggest a simple drinking game:

Every time Halle giggles nervously, take a drink. I promised that by the time the bad CGI arrives, you'll be too drunk to notice.

(Just don't blame me if you find yourself afterwards going, "Man, I must have been really wasted, I could swear the villain's weapon in this movie was evil makeup.)

Because no, that's really what it is.

On the evil weapon: BWAH ha ha!!!! Friends don't let friends buy Wet N' Wild!
