He's [Bruce Willis] also the worst part of Pulp Fiction.
That's just crazy talk.
I loathe The Fifth Element. Every second of that film is like fingernails on a blackboard to me.
Jess is dead to me.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
See, ita, I saw it as saying love lets you expand who you are - he could be Greaser AND letterman, She could be nice girl AND wear hoochie pants. It's all good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There are also such examples as Of Thee I Sing and Finian's Rainbow and South Pacific, for pity's sake.
There are fluffy non-musicals too, so I'm not overwhelmed with the causality here.
the stage production, in which Frenchy has a pregnancy scare.
So there are two?

No, you're all fluffy and optimistic. They're both bending themselves out of shape to fit other limitations -- he'll be boozing and she'll be abusing Valium and they'll both be neglecting their (unplanned) kids within scant years.

It's a musical. I don't tend to have high expectations for their "message".

My wife loves The Fifth Element, but I'm with Jessica and Nutty: I'd almost rather listen to two hours of fingernails on blackboards.

ita, being a nice girl and wanting to wear tight black clothes scarcely seems too "out of shape." Unless you heve an awfully rigid view of humanity. Hmm, Stricty McRolepants?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hell, I'm not a nice girl, but if I dressed like that to get ass, I'd get flak for it.
But she didn't just put on a pair of pants, not hardly.
