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.

Compassionately intolerant

That IS weird.

I was trying to come up with some scientific explanation based on how fewer people = greater coincidence, but it's not even washing with me, so I'll skip it.

It's probably as simple as notable people increase their notariety by hanging out with notable people. Isn't that what fuels Page Six?

At any rate, the intersecting stories is one of the things I enjoyed about the first season of Deadwood too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It'll be more like the Crazy 88s fight in Kill Bill. I think.

Because it's black-and-white, that's exactly how a lot of it comes across. Except unlike in Kill Bill, there are also guns. And people getting reamed with bullets.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Steph, don't go see it. I wish I'd been a little better-informed as to the full extent of the violence. I can handle a fair amount of blood and gore, but Sin City (like Kill Bill) definitely exceeded my limits about a half hour in. Not that it's not a good movie, 'cause I think it probably is, but I watched a lot of it through my fingers, so it's hard for me to tell.

I was just going to say that the violence is so cartoonish, I barely noticed it. But if you are on the sensitive side, stick with Kate.

I liked it in many ways, but nothing about it made me say "Yay!" But aside from one storyline being too long and Jamie King sucking like a Hoover, I have no specific complaints.

I do have a few theories...

Are you referring to her performance, or how she got the job in the first place?

Bwah! That would explain a lot.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Bob also advised me against seeing it because of my aversion to gore, Steph. So I'm skipping it, Clive Owen be damned.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

I watched "You'll Never Get Rich." I didn't love it. I mean, I loved the dancing, and I loved Rita Hayworth, but I hated the fact that Fred Astaire's character was all over the place. Sometimes he was in control, smart, and logical, but more often he was a lying idiot, who was a tiny bit creepy. And I didn't care so much for that. It made it difficult to like him, and I love Fred Astaire.

He had the best jokes of anyone working. Truly a tragic loss.
