Michael Caine about Alfred, and stuff.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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.

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

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 waiting for Christopher Nolan to do Alfred: The Beginning," Caine jokes.
Heh.

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."

Let's start with David Mamet rewriting that TV minisieres with Phoebe Cates. What was it? Lace?

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
WHICH FUCKING ONE OF YOU FUCKING BITCHES IS MY MOTHERFUCKER?!?!??!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Ha!!
I've got a pounding headache from so many large anvils being dropped right on my noggin.
That is my assessment of the horse movie, too. Having watched the American Experience episode about Seabiscuit, I found the movie dull, obvious, and deeply lame. (Also, Tobey Maguire couldn't look period if he tried. He didn't.)
you should always do remakes of failures.
I am so glad that someone in Hollywood agrees with me. For this, I forgive Michael Caine Beyond the Poseidon Adventure and Jaws: The Revenge.
