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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I saw City Hunter over the weekend. It's a Jackie Chan movie from 1992 and is a completely over-the-top action/comedy thing. Like over-the-top for even Jackie. It also has a bizzare musical number in the middle that at one point involves guys in biker leathers spinning around on their backs with sparklers strapped to their feet. Incredibly bizarre.

My cousin who brought it over wanted us to do a drinking game with it but we weren't feeling up to it. He was planning on giving us a choice of taking a shot any time the title of the movie was mentioned, everytime Jackie's character mentions or thinks about food or every time he hits on a woman. Any of the three would have gotten us well and truly drunk, while the first one probably would have sent someone to the hospital, so I'm glad we passed on that.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Late Bus pulls up

Dude, I just saw Elf this past week. If Netflix had never come along, I shudder to think how far behind I would be....

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

From IMDB:

When Harry Met Sally stars Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal have been voted the greatest on-screen couple of all time in a new poll. The sizzling chemistry between the pair in the 1989 romantic comedy beat out competition from second-placed Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart, for their romance in the Oscar-winning 1942 classic Casablanca. Julia Roberts and Richard Gere came third for their team-up in hit 1990 movie Pretty Woman, in the poll commissioned by British chain store

I have to admit, I'm particular to Harry and Sally. But I'm not sure who I like the most.

If I only had a brain...

Bogart and Bacall in The Big Sleep. Hunt and Turner in Body Heat.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

When Harry Met Sally stars Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal have been voted the greatest on-screen couple of all time in a new poll.

I am rolling my eyes in the manner of a Mobius strip. Bergman/Grant in Notorious.

I think Ple will back me that any list that doesn't include Gary Cooper and Marlene Dietrich from Morocco in the top three is bankrupt.

I guess I should see Morocco and The Big Sleep. Hunt and Turner were sexy in Body Heat, but I wasn't cheering for them, or anything. I don't even remember having a reaction to the Notorious coupling.
