I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

she never did that thing where she leans back and laughs with the top of her head swivelling backwards like a pez dispenser.

You can... get a fliptop head, or you can use Reach. Clearly, Julia isn't a fan of Reach.

Is it just me, or has the wild Summer Movie Extravaganza (which has started, in the past, as early as May 1) been kind of subdued? Except for the George Lucas Behemoth, there's been so little, even in advertising.

Is it just that my approaching-30 filters have deleted all mention of 100,000 crap movies from my memory? Am I watching the wrong TV channels? For the life of me, Batman Begins and the Adam Sandler movie opening this week are the only two summer movies I can name at all, and the latter I can't actually name; there was something about it on ESPN yesterday evening.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."

Last Saturday's new Doctor Who had a spectacularly creepy kid. Winsome and blond. In a gas mask.

I agree. Wonderful episode, it made me ant to do something I call the Gasmask Orphans. Cronenberg meets (or meats if you want) Oliver Twist.

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

I've seen lots of Batman Begins onscreen -- billboards are that too, plus The Honeymooners and Mr & Mrs Smith.

I get my movie news from the Internets, or from the sides of buses these days.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've got a list of movie releases synched to my Treo. I see nine movies being released on Friday (some are limited release, though).

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Oh, I guess I have seen ads for Mr. & Mrs. Smith. That one is a definite "filtered out to protect my brain" type of thing. Didn't know about The Honeymooners, though.

I swear, I haven't seen a single bus- or train-poster all spring long. Whereas, Troy, last year, had Vapid Serious Face (plus flowing locks) all over everything that moved.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Something about football and jail.

The only movie this summer I'm looking forward to is Howl's Moving Castle, which I haven't seen any publicity for.

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

THE LONGEST YARD - it's a remake of a Burt Reynolds movie from the 70s (one of the better ones).

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

I am so psyched for Mr. And Mrs. Smith.

I'm all over that one.

Kingdom of Heaven and Monster In Law were all over the place too.

Oh, HELL yeah. New Miyazaki!
