You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And Nazi sympathizers. Don't forget the Nazi sympathizers.

Does it count as a message if it's completely glossed over?

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.

I love The Fifth Element. The thing is, there's a ton of stuff in it that would irritate the hell out of me normally, but taken together it all works.

I could still do without most of the Ruby Rod stuff (and the War/Love bit is cheesy), but other than that, it's incredibly entertaining to me. It's so stupid, but I always laugh at the bit with the "Gimme the cash! Gimme the cash!" mugger.

"Nice hat."

"You like it?" *does incredibly wierd little dance for no good reason*

Shit's all sorts of different now.

My grandma hates Evita because she refused to get treatment early.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I find it incredibly funny for about 3/4ths of the movie, which is nothing short of a miracle.

This is why Aimee rightly tells me to shut it every time I bring this up, but I just really can't get past who the Perons were. It's a thing for me. Even if it's not there in the musical, I still read it as an undercurrent, and am boggled that ALW could write a musical on who these people were.

So it's not an overt message, like the wonky one in Grease.

(You're still dead to me)

I know. I'm posting via ouija board.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Then Sean, if you haven't already, you really don't want to see Birth of a Nation.

Unless you need a new TV anyway.

Because it'll make you put your foot through the screen.
