No, you really aren't. I liked the movie enough to by the dvd (at least when it was on sale), but I abhor that scene.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hey. New board.
The entire Caltech campus is now off to see Star Wars (apparently, they voted for it over H2G2 65% to 35% for free tickets. Sometimes I hate this place.) I briefly considered going because I'm drunk enough to have a good time making fun of the movie loudly, but decided against it after discouragement from my housemates, who are among the most offensive people here.
So now I'm bored.
I wish I felt less anger towards Lucas.

I love creepy kids. Cuz they're creepy.
Last Saturday's new Doctor Who had a spectacularly creepy kid. Winsome and blond. In a gas mask.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Stolen from Fametracker:
Two great love stories are currently captivating the nation: the doomed romance of Jedi turncoat Anakin Skywalker and his forbidden bride, Padmé Amidala, and the surprise wedding of country singer Kenny Chesney to movie star Renée Zellweger, whom he'd wooed in part by writing a song titled "You Had Me From Hello."
We at Fametracker wondered if we couldn't combine these two love stories into one super-mega-universal romance. The answer: yes, of course we can. And from that alternate universe of astral love, we bring you this artifact. Ready the Kleenex you should.
"You're So Beautiful (Only Because I'm So In Love With You)"
"Do It To Me One More Time (Like You Did By The Lake At Naboo)"
"You Had Me At 'I Will Not Condone A Course Of Action That Will Lead Us To War'"
"Naboo Nights (Tatooine Mornings)"
"They Told Me To Let Go Of Everything I Loved (But I Couldn't Let Go Of You)"
"Sometimes Love Makes You Do Crazy Things, Like Slaughter A Bunch of Younglings"
"I Don't Like Sand (But I Do Love You)"
"Remember When We First Met And I Was Only Ten Years Old?"
"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (You Looked Exactly The Same As You Do Now. It's Weird.)"
"My Love Burns Hotter Than My Legless Torso Right Now"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Has anyone seen "The Final Cut"? I'd never heard of it until I saw it on Netflix, and Rotten Tomatoes is mixed. Plus, there is Robin Williams. I feel like someone here mentioned it...Jessica? Scrappy?

I watched it recently. Quite good, very cool SF idea, downer ending.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Then I saw The Muppets' Wizard of Oz on TV, and it was surprisingly brilliant. Very funny and clever.
Not so surprising. Scott Johnson (the "Smile Time" puppet manager) told me he might be working on it last April, so that's some pretty good Muppeteering talent behind the scenes.
I couldn't be that critical of NP in Closer since I thought JR was pointlessly blank. She was ranking below OB on the emotimeter.
The one saving grace was that her character was so relentlessly grim that she never did that thing where she leans back and laughs with the top of her head swivelling backwards like a pez dispenser.

I may have a year ago - Stephanie Romanov is a costar.
