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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Given the current track record for adapting Alan Moore comics to film, I can't say I'm too upset.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Make no mistake, as emperor, Palpatine is a dictator--but a relatively benign one, like Pinochet.
Well, any credibility the author might have had with me just went out the window when he called Augusto Pinochet "relatively benign." Because that's....well, that's fucking insane.

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

There are also seriously negative reviews of BATMAN BEGINS and MR. AND MRS. SMITH, but Denby's always been a bit of a prig: [link]

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Now here, I would have said it was a joke, down to the Palpatine = Pinochet comparison. Because, yeah, Pinochet and "relatively benign" don't belong in the same sentence unless the phrase "rectal tumor" is also in the mix.
But I'll take your word for it.
