far too close to the age she played for it to have been allowed
Not allowed? Why?
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

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.

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

I look more rad than Lutheranism
[Ewan] just breaks my heart in the big final battle scene.
Does he sing "Come What May," while his TB-infected hooker girlfriend dies in a shower of rose petals at his feet?
Sorry; complete other rant. I hate the Hooker With a Heart of Gold storyline, even when the hoor is as heart-stoppingly beautiful as Kidman was in Moulin Rouge.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I'm right there with you, honey.

Especially when the hooker won't put out just ONE MORE TIME, even to save the life or livelihood of her beloved. C'mon now. Who hasn't been all up in there yet?

Hey. New board.
Not allowed? Why?
I was joking. In a non-funny fashion. One of my pet peeves that twenty-somethings are so often cast as teens.

If I only had a brain...
"all up in there"?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Wait, you're advocating for Our Hero to have sex with a consumptive with active symptoms? I think, given my druthers, I'd prefer not to share such intimate things as bedsheets, rose petals, drinking glasses or my personal mucus membranes with a consumptive if it is all the same with you all.
Not being a fan of getting consumption myself, you know.
(Yes, I'm aware people did it all the time with consumptives, back in the day, but they also performed surgery without handwashing or anaesthetic, and I'm not a fan of that practice either.)
(Can you tell I never saw that movie?)

Hey. New board.
She doesn't want her to screw the hero. She's doing that anyway. She wants her to screw the gross bad guy so that the Show May Go On and they can live Happily Ever After.
To be fair, it was Ewan's character that didn't want her screwing him. It drove him a little mad.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Ewan suffers very nicely. Very nicely indeed.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Ewan suffers very nicely. Very nicely indeed.
Very prettily and nicely.
I want to get the full DVD so I can have the extended remix dance sequence of "Tango de Roxanne". Guh.
