'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'


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.

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

But this is the SW movie we've been waiting for.

Word. I understand the desire for a matched set of trilogies, but he really should have just made this one. Everything that happened in 1 and 2 could have been summed up in the opening crawl.

(Also, he should have cast Vincent Kartheiser as Anakin. Just 'cause.)

I actually liked Anakin better in this one. OK, maybe not *like*, but understood.

And no, I can't believe I just said that either.

VK as Anakin? tries to ponder... takes woobie factor to 11... brain explodes

He's not tall enough.

Isn't that what ILM is for?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Isn't that what ILM is for?

Heh. A Scully box is so much simpler. Though difficult to adapt for lightsabre fight scenes.

Pfft. As if George Lucas would ever use a $10 piece of wood when there's a hundred-thousand dollar proprietary piece of software that can do the exact same thing digitally. Honestly, woman, where ARE your priorities?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

As if George Lucas would ever use a $10 piece of wood when there's a hundred-thousand dollar proprietary piece of software that can do the exact same thing digitally.

In my head, this sounds just like Kevin McDonald saying "Well, it reaches into your brain 'chemically'" in Brain Candy.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Did we know you could see it?

Yes. I was so happy and shocked that I could see it. (You know the whole "we're not gonna show it to the public" thing would never last.)

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

Cinema's most unique voice, Walken reportedly taught himself his halting manner of speech by deleting all the punctuation out of his scripts when learning his lines. You can. Understand. What that could do to your. Speech. Right? Anyway, we could use a little more cowbell.
