I didn't mind that Clive was handsome, since basically every single woman was a knockout. No prosthetics for the chicks, no siree. One slightly beat-up but handsome guy didn't seem out of place--noir often had one brooding dark guy for balance with all the heavies.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
askye, that was a short story from the comics. I think she had hired him to kill her because she couldn't do it herself. She was running away from something. The name of the story is "The Customer Is Always Right."

FWIW, Ali, the backstory on Clive Owen's character was much abbreviated compared to the comic. And the part you really liked was the section directed by QT.
I was so confused for a moment, since I intend to see this movie, but I haven't picked out the parts I really liked yet.

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
Chiming in to say I also enjoyed Sin City. I don't like gore but this gore was so stylized, I had no problem with it. My squickiest moment was when little girl Nancy talked about still being a virgin. Ew. Also? Alba is still hot (even though I prefer her with dark hair).

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I'd call The Last Starfighter an iconic 80s movie.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, lord, my eyes rolled out of my head at that one. As soon as they said, "In Terrebone Parish..." *music of VOODOO and DOOM*

Hee. We were all "Yay, cablecars! I hope the city got some money from this."

Sorry, Alibelle. Askye is an Ali in real life.

No, it's fine. I figured as much.
Did I mention that I finally saw "Finding Neverland?" And it was totally awesome? So pretty. So very pretty. And all movies should star Kate Winslet and Johnny Depp. I've decided.
