Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I don't expect it. I'm just really, really hopeful.

And, thusfar, disappointed.

I have to give him props though, Ewan's flawless vocal imitation of Alec Guinness is the one shining positive of the trilogy so far.

Ewan has definitely been the one thing I've been able to focus on to at least have the semblence of a good time. However, all the pictures from RotS look like he's been taking beard grooming advice from John Crichton.

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

The best I can say about Ewan in the one trilogy movie I saw was that he hasn't been tarnished in my mind by the association. Unlike, sadly, Samuel L and Liam Neeson.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

The Star Wars films have given Ewan the money to allow him to show us his dick many, many more times.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Also to motorcycle around the world.

If I only had a brain...

Yes, but what if he views it as enough money to be able to hide his assets forever after?

He's on a mission. He won't rest until it's done.

Hah! Obviously you don't know him well enough. He's shown his wedding tackle more than Harvey Keitel, and just a little less than Julian Sands.

He does seem to be rather more enthused about doing so than Keitel. I get the feeling the latter has appeared nude so often because he doesn't mind doing it as part of the job, whereas Ewan seems to actively seek out those sort of roles.
