Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Slate had a piece about the MGM dual disc sets and how great they were.

The Seven Brides for Seven Brothers 2-disc set has not only the Cinemascope version (on disc one, with a commentary by director Stanley Donen), but also the unseen-before-now "flat screen" version, which was filmed at the same time as the Cinemascope. Like Oklahoma (filmed in both Todd-AO and Cinemascope, IIRC), they had to use two separate cameras for the different film processes, and so doubled up the number of takes. Easter Parade has what looks to be a great American Masters bio of Judy Garland included on its second disc.

Now tagless for your comfort.

So, I'm doing some research so I can write a little background thing on Willie Nelson, and I pull up the imdb entry for The Dukes of Hazzard. I was trying to see if the boards said anything about the release date so I could add it to the background info. Dude. it's just wanking off in all directions Brittany vs. Jessica, I HATE JESSICA, JESSICA IS TEH AWSOM!!!, RACIST!, The Dukes never smoked pot!, I hate BURT REYNOLDS!!, BURT IS THE GREATEST ACTOR EVAH!~

Heather, stay FAR, FAR away from the IMDB comments for Kingdom of Heaven.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Oh man, I got sucked into the comments for Ju-on a few months back. I can only imagine how bad the arguments get when the evil creatures being discussed are teen idols rather than vengeful ghosts.

But IMDB comments are HYSTERICAL! They're better than AICN Talkback!

Not when they (and we're not talking about bright people) start trying to relate current politics with those that happened a THOUSAND FUCKING YEARS AGO.

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

IMDB folks are almost uniformly belligerent dopes. I did see a nice little community on the Big Lebowski boards.

Are they ever doing anything else?

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Sure. Relating current politics with those that happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Seriously, has anyone read the sociopolitical debate about Episode II-III? It's a hoot.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Please tell me Lucas at least leaves Jar Jar Binks out of Episode III....
