Netflix's search service is really awful; more than once I've had to search on several different keywords to find a movie. And I still don't have any idea if they have Dangermouse or not.
My food is problematic.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Justifying ita's love. Village Voice review of Be Cool (which they thought was mediocre) ends with...
[Vince] Vaughn's phlegmy hip-hop shtick has its moments, but only in relation to The Rock, who is Be Cool's authentic revelation. As a naive, audition-seeking queer—named Elliot Wilhelm, no less—stuck being a gangsta because of his skin and size, Rock is brave, fully invested in his character, and with a wide-open face and foolish grin, outrageously funny. It's a singular performance achieved without condescension or camp. Who'd a-thunk it? In the end, as Elliot's happily hoofing it in an onstage Hawaiian dance routine straight out of Disney World, you can almost see Hollywood scratch its head.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
And I still don't have any idea if they have Dangermouse or not.
Duuuude. I never even thought to look if that was out on DVD. Though part of me fears that watching it again may taint my nostaligic love for it (much like happened with the original Transformers and Voltron).

It may not be that great, but gangsters? Elmore Leonard caperness? It would take a riot to keep me out.(Actually "Get Shorty" was probably much better, but still...good times.)

So, does Sunday's Oscars mean we'll soon get to see Marty Scorsese have Joe Pesci pistol whip half the Academy?
Because I want tickets.
(Edited to remember that whole monday happened since the Oscar's)

I don't want to see Scorsese win a Smell of a Woman type honorary Oscar for a work that's sub-standard in his catalog. I want him to win for a Scorsese movie.

So he films Pesci pistol whipping half the Academy, turns it into his next Goodfellas, and wins next year?

No you're talking. Bring in Deniro with a baseball bat and you've got my vote.

How many times would I watch that! Too many.
