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.

If I only had a brain...
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bad grammar! No biscuit!!
But ... but ... it fails semantically and passes structurally, right? Isn't it bad English but grammatically correct?

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

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think that if I were nerdy enough to say, "Bad grasp of semantic constraints! No biscuit!!" then the joke would have passed by.
Mooooom, ita is following me around and asking me logic questions!

I think JEJ has the most iconic voice going. Seriously.

You are totally nerdy enough, and this is exactly the place to be that way.

Uh, you started it? No, you ... hey! Pretty shiny thing over there!

Welcome to Bell Atlantic.
ETA: Russell Crowe doesn't make 100? Maybe he's not iconic yet. But, nice voice, eh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
