Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If I only had a brain...
Clint Eastwood above James Earl Jones? Above Kathleen Turner?
Puh-lease.

The thing is, Clint Eastwood's voice doesn't fill me with joy at the first syllable. Both JEJ and KT make me think "My God, how can a voice possibly sound that good?" I genuinely would listen to either read the phone book.

But ... but ... it fails semantically and passes structurally, right? Isn't it bad English but grammatically correct?

Argh. Finally found my favorite Eastwood quote ever:
"I don't think it's nice, you laughing. You see my mule, he don't like nobody laughing. Gets the strange idea you're laughing at him. So, if you apologize like I know you're going to, then maybe he'll see that you didn't mean it." Clint Eastwood

They didn't use the word "joy", though. They mentioned memorable and distinct and quirky. Clint's voice is iconic, more to me than Kathleen's, although I'd much rather listen to hers.
