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.

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.

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.

"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.

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

It made me feel old. As does having never heard "ownage" before. Up here, everything is traditionally "wicked [insert any word here]".

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The teenage nephews and niece who live in the OC still use "tight" but "hot" is also popular.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

On the other hand, I'm unreasonably fond of "pants" as used by Fay and I think Jim (among others - definitely seems to be a UK thing).

Of course, it's pretty much the opposite of "tits", "sick", etc., as in "Are you high, man? That Yoda scene wasn't tits; it was completely pants."

As does having never heard "ownage" before.

It comes from on-line video games. If you kick someone's ass, you "owned" them. I think it's dumb and I play video games.

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

I've heard and used normal forms of 'own': "The reason you talk smack about that kick is because you don't own it." Works for me. I've never heard "ownage" in real life.

"Are you high, man? That Yoda scene wasn't tits; it was completely pants."

For some reason, I love this sentence madly.

Well, it pretty much sums up how I felt talking to some people about the Yoda fight scene in AotC. Not that that's why you would love it, but it's why I thought of it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Frank totally owned that slang.
