Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

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.

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

What I loved about Three Kings is a scene near the end over which plays amusingly bad French rap. Actually, that is the second-best part of the movie. The best part is that Michael Jackson rant Said Taghmaoui gets to spew to Marky Mark right before torturing him. Perfect!

I think all the mythologcial references offset the anvils somehow. I mean, legends aren't supposed to be subtle.

We were discussing this the other day at home. What, you mean every home run that hits a light (I am assured this does, rarely, happen) doesn't throw the whole stadium into velvety darkness except for the artistic sparks that highlight Our Hero as he rounds the bases in slomo??

Anyway, it's a beautiful movie, even if it is 100% hoodoo.

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

Plus, a funnier cow scene (albeit, much grosser) than TWISTER (where it was one of that movies only redeeming moments).

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Know what WE watched last night?????

THE INCREDIBLES!!!!

I've finally watched it for the first time last night. It was frickin' hilarious! (I'm kicking myself for not seeing it in the theater.)

I kept telling Hubby "Let's go see The Incredibles!" but he kept shrugging it off. Still, that's what Blockbuster's for.

Amen to that. (I can rent 4 movies for the price of one ticket at the theater.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

LOVED LOVED LOVED "Jack Jack Attack" and a lot fo the deleted scenes were pretty great.

I am a sucker for gag reels and this one, IMHO, wasn't so great. I wish they would have stuck with the format they used for A Bug's Life and Toy Story.

The clutch cargo cartoon was funnier -- especially with the commentary on.

I'm right there with you! I was laughing so hard - the change in music from a waltz to the Mozart's Dies Irae just about killed me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm going to have to stop at Target on my way home tonight, aren't I?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

A friend of mine bought The Incredibles yesterday at Circuit City and got an Incredibles basketball.(Ok, a mini basketball, but WANT!)
