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.

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

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Wait, isn't that the plot of the first Batman movie?

Wow, Jessica. I have to thank you for that one. Never would have gone to see it anyway, mind you, but I think you for taking it for the team, nonetheless.

David -- I think I have that one; I haven't read them in a while. I should do that. I mostly remember being very disturbed by Luna, which starts out goofy and turns into Deliverance at the end.

Edging back toward the topic... I had no interest in seeing Catwoman until I started hearing it compared to Battlefield Earth. Now I may have to see it.

Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. -Bierce

How about The Day the Earth Stood Still? That movie had a profound effect on my childhood.

Umm... Pi? Probably not.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Teppy--you convinced me. I'm going to see De-lovely tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward to escaping the heat with the oh so talented Mr. Kline.
