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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The NY Times reviewer could have stopped his review after the second sentence:
The reasons to avoid "House of D," David Duchovny's earnest, unwatchable coming-of-age drama, can best be summarized in a simple declarative sentence. Robin Williams plays a retarded janitor.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did he even need the first sentence?

Oh my God. I'm afraid to go to the movies for fear I'll be seated in a theater next to one where that's playing.

Wow. I'm trying to imagine a sentence that would make me cower in fear more.
Maybe "Robin Williams plays a retarded janitor who falls in love with a frazzled career woman played by Meg Ryan."

Ann, that's a ferret.
Maybe "Robin Williams plays a retarded janitor who falls in love with a frazzled career woman played by Meg Ryan."
"..., who is already engaged to Mel Gibson."

You just know he's going to bring spiritual awakening to everyone around him. Maybe it would be worse if he did it in blackface.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
who is already engaged to Mel Gibson
"...who is having a secret affair with Carrot Top."

Oh, and seriously --
A hint to DVR-equipped fans of the classics. TCM is showing Bombshell at 2:30 a.m. (EST) on Tuesday, April 26. A great screwball comedy starring Jean Harlow, featuring possibly the greatest temper tantrum in movie history.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I don't think Fred Pete has seen the 1950 Mexican melodrama Aventurera. But he should.
And I will TiVo Harlow tonight as well.
