Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

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

I flinched a little during that bit, but it was the kicking, that got to me, not the Angelina.

It just looked really painful.

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

How about Patricia Arquette vs. James Gandolfini in True Romance?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

NSM. That wasn't really a popcorn movie beating. In this one I think the audience is supposed to sympathize with Pitt.

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

More than you're supposed to sympathise against him (you know what I mean) when he's being hit?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I think we're supposed to find each character's success satisfying. So yes, we like it when Jane gets her licks in, and we like it when he gets his in. As long as it's not obvious that one is terribly wounding the other.

I really wish there were some morning krav classes in town. I would totally!

I was just wondering if you found it evenhanded, or skewed to one side or the other.

I would totally!

I wish it were that fun every time.

But sometimes it's kinda.

More sex and violence:

Clive Owen is taking aim at "Shoot-Em-Up" for New Line.

"Sin City" star is in final negotiations for a pay-or-play deal estimated at mid-seven figures, triggering a greenlight for the ultraviolent pic, which will start production in January.

Script by Michael Davis, who will also helm, would feature Owen as a mysterious man protecting a newborn baby from criminals out to kill it. Set pieces include a shootout during a sex scene and another in the midst of a freefall.

I can't lie. Clive's one of my favourite picks for mixing the two themes.

Shootout during sex scene and shootout in freefall?

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

I've been mulling Batman Begins , as I sit here at work, and I have a question, so if anyone wants to get a little Bats-loves-carrots for me...

What's Ra's Al Ghul's backstory from... well, any source other than the movie? I remember him vaguely from the cartoon (man I miss that show!), but I don't remember much other than he was Bruce's sensai or some such.

Yes.

Not no. Did you see The Hire: Chosen?
