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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
if Ford or Carrie Fisher said "This line rings false. How about if I say...?" He would let them.
Ford did improvise the classic reply to Leia's "I love you." Originally, it was the standard "I love you, too," but Harrison knew that wasn't a Han line, so Lucas and Kirshner let him substitute "I know."
ETA--should have known that would be a x-post!

Hand me my light saber.
Which one is it?
The one that says "bad motherfucker".

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ford fampously improv-ed the riposte "I know" to Leia's declaration of love.
t nitpick It's not improvising if they talked about it beforehand (which, by all accounts, they did). t /nitpick
As painful as the Anakin/Padme romance scenes are, the Most Needed To Be Rewritten Line Of Them All Award has to go to "My wife and I have always talked about adopting a baby girl." because it turns that scene into a REALLY CREEPY MOMENT. Was "My wife and I have always wanted a daughter" taken? What was he thinking?? (The timing doesn't help either. If the line were less jumped on, the "Ooh, ooh! I call dibs on the girl!" vibe would have been far diminished.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'd rather see QTs Star Wars than Kevin Smith's.

If I only had a brain...
Interesting performance, no.
Was there an interesting performance? I liked the Emperor, I guess.

I can't take credit for that, but I have no idea where I first heard it. It was in the ether as soon as he was cast.
I also loved Aaron McGruder in the Boondock's having Huey be all bent out of shape and coming up with rhymes about how bad the Phantom Menace was.
To paraphrase:
"The Phantom Menace was wack; the movie needed more Sam Jack."

Ok, well, still amusing, even if not homegrown.

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.
It occurred to me, while Darth was being suited up, how utterly ridiculous that suit is. What the hell kind of helmet is that? Really?
I believe it was supposed to look samurai-esque, going back to the Jedi as samurai angle from the original trilogy.
