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 was that great movie with John Laroquette and Kirstie Alley? Madhouse I think it was.

Hey. New board.

Polterigiest is don't buy a house built on an Indian burial ground.

Saw this last night, for the first time in years. It wasn't an Indian burial ground so much as just a normal burial ground but, basically, yeah.

Also, I thought the movie primarily sucked. Stephen Spielberg writes way too many speeches in his movies, and makes far too much use of manipulative music. Sometimes that works okay, like in E.T., but in a horror movie? It's a distraction.

That said, the last 20 minutes were completely awesome. It was like we had a 2 hour buildup for 20 minutes of actual scary movie.

Madchen Amick was also in the horribly underrated and very frustratingly short-lived new Fantasy Island series, with Malcom MacDowell.

I thought I was the only person alive who had ever even watched that show. And I always thought that Shelly and Bobby on Twin Peaks were the cutest couple.

Ha!

"Hi, I'm Jessica Alba. After Honey tanked, I went to my agent and said, 'How about a totally different direction? I'd like to produce and star in a biography of famed suffragette Carrie Nation -- she's a real-life superhero. I feel I could bring both passion and nuance to the role. And my agent said, 'That sounds good. Why don't we give the naked belly-dancing thing one more try, though?' Well, looks like she was right. Thanks, agent!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's no Clive. I guess he's too cool to track?

Elijah's was my favorite:

Hi, I'm Elijah Wood. Go ahead. Call me Frodo now. No, seriously, I want you to. Come on. I just had my nails done."

"Hi, I'm Nicky Katt. Yeah, the guy who gets shot with the arrow. Yeah, the funniest thing in the movie. Once again, I stroll in and casually steal a film. And once again, no one recognizes me, so that the one thing everyone still remembers me from is Boston freaking Public."

I love Nicky Katt. He was totally the best part of the movie.

I actually remember him most from The Limey.

And then from Boston freaking Public.
