Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

These people forget that Lucas conceived this whole business in the seventies.

There have been changes since the original conception, and we really can't say for sure what those were (*cough* mitichloridians *cough*). However, I think it's safe to say that the plan for THIS one was in place when he made SW:TPM, which was . . . . 1999, before Bush took office.

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

The general outline of the plot, yes.

That one explicit line of dialogue? I really, really doubt it.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

(*cough* mitichloridians *cough*).

A friend of mine who was a huge Star Wars fan until the first two prequels caused him to curse Lucas' name for ever and ever, said according to interviews he's read Lucas was saying the Force was caused by "space bugs" for a long time and was apparently where one of the book authors got the idea of bad guys who were immune to the Force.

So apparently George's insanity isn't as recent a thing as we thought.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I saw RotS last night. I don't know if I thought it was as "Tits!" as the young lads leaving when I got there, but I liked it better than the first two.

For me, the best part was still when the title came up and the music started.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

As the Lucasfilm logo faded away, someone in the audience did the Chewbacca...thing.

I hate that expression. I don't know why. That, "da bomb" and "owned" just really annoy me for some reason.

This makes me laugh.

Behind us were three sub-thirteen-year-old boys dressed in Jedi robes.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I'd never heard "Tits" as an adjective before. I'll admit the silliness made me giggle. (That, and the obvious enthusiasm behind it.)

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

So it's a good thing?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I assumed by the delivery it was. ("Man, that Yoda scene was so tits.")
