Full Metal Jacket and Stripes.
Private Benjamin and Stripes.
Perhaps I just really really want the new Stripes DVD.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

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.

Hmm, maybe I'll go see Mr. and Mrs. Smith tomorrow.
A couple of hours in an air-conditioned theatre sounds like a VERY good idea.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm reading EW, a short piece on X3, and I see something terrifying.
The name "Halle Berry."
Followed by the words "in an expanded role."
To quote Darth Vader: "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Be more worried about the script. Nothing I've heard is promising.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Also, be worried about the director. Just to be proactive.

Has Hugh Jackman signed on to it yet?

Okay, my EW arrived and I see that HJ is not just acting but also producing and that he approved Ratner as director.
Sheesh.
Also, why did Tom Cruise have to be on the cover?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, why did Tom Cruise have to be on the cover?
It's the Scientology cabal....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Mr and Mrs Smith was a decent way to spend two hours out of the soul-crushing humidity of a NYC summer. Not spectacular, not terrible. It's fun. I think an R rating and an ending would have improved it vastly, but I wasn't disappointed. I wanted to smack the two girls sitting behind us who wouldn't shut up through the entire film. I shushed them at one point, and they told me to fuck off. Teenagers can be so polite.

Nice.
No wonder they're targeted by axe murderers.
In films.
Probably made by people with similar experiences to Jessica's.
BTW, I've seen a few ads for that new "Fight for Fame" show on E! -- or is it on Style? -- that remind me of Decline of Western Civilization Part 2: the Metal Years in the subjects singlemindedness about their success.
