One of Seattle's radio stations has been playing that Queens of the Stone Age song mixed with the SNL "more cowbell" sketch. Pretty funny. Well, the first 10 times, anyway.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
7. Al Pacino - Hoo-ah! Always over the top, and we wouldn't have him any other way.
Pfft. First of all, Al can be subtle (cf., Godfather movies). Second of all, I hate it when he's a ham. Who the fuck loved him in Smell of a Woman? The most obvious apology Oscar since Butterfield 8.
Also, any voice list without Richard Burton or Alan Rickman is deeply suspect.

Alan Rickman wasn't on that list. That list is dead to me.
Yeah, it's irrevelant without him.

Yes, wrod. And I liked "Scent" but I've grown up, babe. And seen the Godfather, Serpico(duh), and, hell, "And Justice For All." "This whole country's out of order." Andre Braugher? Not on the list either, and he's made some movies now. Rickman's absence is criminal, however. That is the Rickman Appeal.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This is like saying I can be 4'9".

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

Is there decapitation involved in realising either of these potentials?

Couldn't we start at bon's shins? She's way too pretty to be losing her head.

Hey, Hec, your fetish is showing. You might want to tuck that in.

Hey, I was gonna back him up, and I'm not hair-a-philic.

ita is far more bloodthirsty than I ever realized. Dual decapitations! Really!
In any case, what Al and I have in common is that something was true of both of us in the 1970s that is very unlikely to become true today.
