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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yet another moment when I broke the "Let a sleeping baby lie" rule and went and snatched Em out of her crib and hugged and hugged and hugged.

Heh. Christopher said, "makes you want to run up and hug the boy, doesn't it?"

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Damn, those were awful scenes.

Awful bad awful or awful made your heart hurt awful?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

If you want to see R. Lee do his usual schtick, but don't like Full Metal Jacket, I recommend The Frighteners, directed by Peter Jackson. Lots of fun, with a surprisingly effective Michael J. Fox and the always-fun-as-a-psycho Gary Busey.

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

Awful bad awful or awful made your heart hurt awful?

Heart hurt. God, damn.

We meant to watch Collateral right after to stop being so heart hurty, but couldn't.

It was one of those post movie things where we said nothing about the movie for a couple of days. Had to let everything sink in.

Art Crawl!!!

They're doing a re-make of Lassie Come-Home, hopefully no dogs will die in the making of this movie.

I wonder if they're shooting Ireland for Scotland or just switching the setting to Ireland the way that The Secret of Roan Innish did.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

t turns off lurking device

There's no easy way to say, "Hi, I'm fond of the spicy brains around here, and would like to join in on the fun." Except, maybe, that.

Anyway, I watched Kingdom of Heaven for the second time yesterday. (I work at a movie theater, so the first time was the pre-release screening... meaning I was very tired.) I agree with whoever said it that Orlando seemed a little blank. Though I'm not really sure whether that's his fault, or whether Bailin was just supposed to be a taciturn kind of guy.

Also, Zenkitty, I thought that the "if I have your army, you have your wife" line was supposed to mean that if Guy would keep his troops in line, and not start offing Saracens left and right (like he went ahead and did anyway), he would get to be the king. It's just a shame that she didn't seem to have anything to back it up. Also, I still don't get why she cut off all her hair. Disguise? Mourning? Suddenly way too hot in the desert?

So want to see more Alexander Siddig on the big screen. Also, I can't be the first one to think that Edward Norton sounds like Marlon Brando.

And, this movie has me convinced that David Thewlis has a high BBoC factor. Or it's possible I brought the heavy-duty slash goggles.

I hope I whitefonted everything ok... eta: curse you, wee quicktags!

I thought that she feeling her shame at what she did.

I agree about Thewlis and the BBoC factor.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
