Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

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

Do movies show Americans in decline?

Three quarters of Americans would rather stay home and watch movies on TV, according to a new AP/AOL poll. One reason people stay home is that that they think movies are getting worse. Half the persons polled said that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ah yes. Thanks, Sean. I read it over two years ago, and I wasn't really reading it as a Batman comic, but as prep for Watchmen, so a lot didn't stick.

Do movies show Americans in decline?

I really liked the Neal Stephenson Op-Ed in the New York Times that they link to in the piece: [link] (Password required, I think buffistas/foamy still works)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

So, Tom Cruise then?

He does have the teeth.

This reminds me of my thoughts about such a missed opportunity at the Bat-premiere. Bale should have retaliated for the blatant publicity grab by getting into Cruise's personal space and being extremely touchy-feely/flirty all night. You know he wouldn't have any insecurities about doing so, and we might have gotten to see the looming meltdown happen in public with hundreds of cameras present.

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

I think Tom has personal bouncers, so that men taller than he is are not allowed to stand closer than 6 feet from him. Flirting-from-afar isn't nearly as entertaining.

Also, I mean, who wants to be the guy who triggers the meltdown? Dude's head might literally explode, and there goes any hope of washing brains out of the Armani, you know?

Ann, that's a ferret.

I like Matt's thinking. On so many levels.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Bale as Ollie? Maybe in ten years.

I was trying to think of who could do charming-horndog-asskicking-quipping-pinko Ollie, and I suspect Tim Daly could pull it off.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That's weird, because I see Steven Weber as Ollie.

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Obviously, to complete the theme, Ollie should be Thomas Hayden Church.

(Who would make a good Guy Gardner. Heh.)
