I may take the lovely wife out on a date this weekend to go see it.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

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

move out and draw fire
I put my foot down and refused to watch any more European award-winners, so we watched Seabiscuit last night. Chris Cooper was awesome, as usual, but I've got a pounding headache from so many large anvils being dropped right on my noggin. We played the Anvil Drinking Game - starting with the scene of the racing cars being rolled into the stable, we raced each other to predict the anvils. And the movie never let us down - they never missed a chance at an anvil.
Gah.
Pretty horses though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I completely agree with:
"My view is that you should always do remakes of failures. Then you've got nowhere to go but up, you know? They can't say, 'Well, it's not as good as the original, you made a piece of crap. They'd just say, 'What a piece of crap that was,' anyway."

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

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

See? Toms knows.
I don't know if I've ever seen Scola go for the asscaps before, even for comic effect.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I know. That seemed very loud for Tom. And therefore hilarious to imagine.

If I only had a brain...
For Mamet, I believe that would be
