I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think Travolta wised up about the annoyingness of proselytizing Scientology when he sat down his kids to watch The Scientology Movie, and his kids all said, "Oh YOU'RE the bady guy!!"

Or maybe when they found the movie boring, bombastic and ridiculous.

I think more Hollywoodites should have zeppelins. For one thing, avoid all the Los Angeles traffic! For another, a justification for owning a home in the Hollywood Hills -- can't moore a zeppelin to just any apple tree in the Valley, you know.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Covering xposting --

So I guess the real question is, is it weirder to (a) buy a zeppelin or (b) proclaim your love for Katie Holmes on Oprah in a scarifyingly enthusiastic manner?

I pick (b). At worst, (a) is endearingly eccentric. By contrast, it's stark staring bonkers for a 42YO man to go on Oprah Winfrey and act like either a 13YO in the middle of his first crush, or a 16YO who just got laid for the first time. In the privacy of close friends, maybe acceptable in certain circumstances, but not in public. And I say that as a 42YO man.

Battlefield Earth and War of the Worlds -- too soon to tell.

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

Zeppelins for everyone! It is a Zeppelin renaissance which will undoubtedly bring back the greatest of all pulp magazines, Zeppelin Stories.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Unless the aliens in War of the Worlds turn out to be space clams, it's not remotely in the same league as Battlefield Earth.

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

Zeppelins for everyone!

And no playing Stairway To Heaven on any of them!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm psyched for War of the Worlds.

I loves me a good disaster flick.

Scientology in Hollywood is as common as herpes.

Yeah, but Tom's a weird Scientologist.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

No Stairway? Denied!

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

There are no clams (I think) in WotW, but there is this.

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

Lilty, don't be alarmed now, but...there's a bustle. Don't look! Okay, sit down. ::sigh:: It's in your hedgerow.
