Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

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.

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.

I don't know if I thought it was as "Tits!" as the young lads leaving when I got there

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

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

This makes me laugh.

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

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.")

God, I'm old.

Like Lilty, I'd never heard it before, but I don't like it much, cause it's dumb. I do like saying things are "the bomb" (not "da"), and, due to VM, "ownage!" is once again cool.

It's meant to be a good thing, which makes word-evolutionary (I know there's a better term for this but my brain isn't conjuring it at the moment) sense, considering I've only heard it uttered by males.

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

I don't think I've ever heard "tits" used as an exclamation before either.

The one that makes me twitch is "sick," which was used constantly when I was working at MTV. If a segment was working really well, it was, "That is hot man, it's sick." Drove me CRAZY.

"Hot" pings me as weird every time I hear it, but I just chalk it up to getting older rather than anything wrong with the term. I've never heard "sick" used in a positive manner, though.
