You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

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.

If I only had a brain...

Tsk. They don't mention one of my Best Accents of All Time: Miranda Richardson in The Prophet. She is indistinguishable from a Louisiana girl.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I think one of the better accents from someone whom you would not expect it is in Tomorrow Is Forever, where Natalie Wood, in her first credited film role, does an excellent Austrian accent at the age of eight.

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.

Saw Sin City the other night and I enjoyed it, but it was a good deal darker than my tastes normally run. While it would have been worse if the violence hadn't been stylized, I still have an active enough imagination that certain scenes still turned my stomach.

I do have to wonder what is up with Frank Miller and guys getting shot/stabbed/etc in the crotch though, because it seemed to happen every five minutes.

And I actually kind of liked Marv, despite him being responsible for most of the really grotesque stuff.

Up with the sun

The sheer pulpiness of it all got to be a bit too much after a while, and the Bruce Willis segment had me going "eww! She was friggin' 11 years-old when you last saw her, you perv!

But he had a whole big reservation about that! He resisted her because he knew she was way too young for him, and only gave in (to the extent that he did) because she insisted.

I think it's natural to love the only person who gives a damn about you, and the relationship would not have become physical without her impetus. So I don't think it's fair to hang the Dirty Old Man tag on Bruce.

Well, not his character maybe.

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

Well, not his character maybe.

So you're saying - Bruce and Demi: Birds of a Feather Breed Together?

Something like that. Aren't their kids old enough to be bringing home friends as potential dates for Mom and dad at this point?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I forgot to mention that there was a trailer for The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy!

I think the casting looks, and sounds good, but I'm not too crazy about the production design. I am rather fond of the BBC version.

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 just saw a trailer for Bewitched. I'm really looking forward to it, a lot. The trailer was really funny, and I love Nicole Kidman, I have few problems with Will Ferrell, and I'm very fond of the old show.
