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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

On-topic, thanks to Hec for recommending Aventurera. Excellent film noir, and, since it wasn't Hollywood, I couldn't rely on the conventions to figure out what would happen next. Which means I was caught completely off guard by the big plot twist.

You should have heard the gasp in the Castro Theater. And that was an audience full of hardcore Dynasty fans (back when I saw it).

You're no longer young! One of us, one of us. Join us in achey backs and out-of-it-ness, and "You call that music!" and pathetic nostalgia for the crap pop culture of your preteen years. Bwahahahaha!

Up with the sun

Jessica's whitefonted subplot would have been great.

She was ranking below OB on the emotimeter.

My first association with OBs is tampons, which I suspect is not what you mean.

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

Hey, she was less appealing than tampons too.

Depends on where you hide Orlando, I suppose.

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

I know! AND no-one cards me anymore. WTF?

My baby brother is going to college in the fall. Something is amiss.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Me too. It took me a minute to realize Orlando Bloom is not a tampon.

I didn't know you'd seen Kingdom Of Heaven.

Someone better find me a really elegant silver-topped walking stick for my next birthday. IJS.

There's a half-plus-seven rule?

And here I was worried that my current musical crush objects are a decade younger than me.

My pre-teen years?

My PN has all been for the crap I hated in 1992/93.

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