But whitefont is so fun!

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok, but what about Colossus??? He isn't listed in IMDb.

Lately I've begun to feel that the twists in most movies are too clever, and become uterly implausible. In fact, I think Hollywood has become over reliant on twists and reversals.
And not just Hollywood. I stopped watching L&O around the time the commercials started talking about "The Law And Order Twist!" When the whole rest of the movie is set-up for a reaction-shot after The Twist, you've lost me.
The reason things like Usual Suspects work for me is that the twist isn't just a gotcha - it makes you go back and look at everything in a different way, and once you do that, you see how B follows from A, but also how you got sidelined into thinking that C was the thing all along.

So ita, you're saying that my whitefonting of Bruce Willis getting shot in the first ten minutes was perhaps a little excessive and silly?

Maybe the CGI was too expensive to bring the character back?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aimée, I'm guessing IMDB only has the big ones this early on.

Nope. Just that I'd be surprised if anyone here both cared and didn't know.
I'd be surprised if anyone would care to be protected from what I whitefonted too, but I still did it.

I hope so.
I *really* liked Colossus. What a kick ass mutation.

I like how your [edit: ita's] cutting and pasting totally destroyed the whitefonted part. I think that's only appropriate, considering.
