I find it incredibly funny for about 3/4ths of the movie, which is nothing short of a miracle.
I love Dallas' deadpan "WTF is this guy's problem" reaction to him, but he mostly just annoys me.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

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.

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 could still do without most of the Ruby Rod stuff
I adore the fact that the Floston Paradise blows up and they make their dramatic escape just in time for Ruby to do the intro to the news on time.
Hey, I did radio in college. Meeting the feed at the top of the hour correctly was a challenge.

This Grease discussion cracks me up. I'm with ita.
Another question: when was the last time you played a random game of volleyball? Who does that, like, ever, (outside of college)?
Microsoft employees at MSN used to have random games of volleyball.
Don't know if they still do. You'd have to ask Jilli.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Can we re-name the Phoenix to the Ouija board?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Is Joe dead to you? 'Cause I can really only channel other dead people here.
Not today, but he has been in the past. I could call him and let him say something really asinine to me, if that would help.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Can we re-name the Phoenix to the Ouija board?
I think I've just identified next year's April Fools' prank.

If I only had a brain...
Even if it's not there in the musical,
What, precisely, do you think Che is singing about? It ain't "look at her pretty dresses".

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
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.
I have a slightly less violent reaction to Gone with the Wind, but I still can't watch that movie all the way through. Partially because of the depiction of the slaves, but mostly because I just want to smack Scarlett into oblivion. You lost Ashley, girl--get over it!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Loved Grease as a wee child but always hated "tarted up" Sandy. She was so much prettier and more likable untarted. I had a similar reaction when Olivia came out with Physical. She was meant to be a good girl, damn it.
I hate musicals in general, but LOVE this musical with a message: HEDWIG!

I can't even.
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.
Uh, that's not for ignoring. It just isn't. (Perhaps why I have a big problem with the glorification of two of the hemisphere's really horrible people).
