Yeah, I'd have to say I like Bruce Willis more often than not. I even like some of his lesser action items (STRIKING DISTANCE, LAST BOY SCOUT) and even some of the seriously reviled ones (like COLOR OF NIGHT, but only the longer version they showed on cable because it actually makes sense even if it's still WAY over the top).
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

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.

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

You mean The Last Boy Scout, which I liked too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Frank likes Last Action Hero -- pass it on.

Last Action Hero though with Ahnold, is unfairly misjudged, I think. It's a nifty look at action movie tropes and the real world.

I liked Last Action Hero too, though. I don't know why, but the memory of watching it in a San Francisco theater while eating a Burger King chicken sandwich still sticks with me.

I would have been like twelve when it came out. And I mean, when you're a growing movie buff, the idea of characters just walking out of the screen into the real word is so very magical and cool.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
watching it in a San Francisco theater
You weasel! Sneaking into San Francisco at some dim point in the distant past, running around watching movies and eating food and all that crazy shit when none of us had any idea who you were! I am FURIOUS. I haven't been so angry since I found out that tommyrot lived in SF for, like, years and we missed out on him.
Admittedly, primarily because it was so long ago that there was as yet no "we" Buffistishly speaking, but nevertheless. I feel retroactively snubbed.
