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.

The Plague Dogs called in sick, and will be replaced by the Dogs of War.

The Reservoir Dogs have filed a grievance with the union over this.

By the way, does anybody (even Tarantino) have any fucking idea why it was called that?

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

Cause criminals are like dogs in a reservoir who happen to be drowning...IN LIES.

I think.

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

Wikipedia says: "The title is a combination of the film Straw Dogs and a corruption of Au revoir, les enfants, a film by Louis Malle."

I still don't get it.

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

So, War of the Worlds is really good. The special effects, anyway. The CGI was much better than Revenge of the Sith, as everything seemed real all the time, and the physics of the CGI stuff all seemed realistic.

Besided the special effects, the movie was OK, I guess. But it's worth seeing just for the special effects, and at least no one asks someone to hold them like they did by the lake on Naboo.

Lots of disaster....

Hey. New board.

It's not for you.

I think this is my favorite penny arcade comic ever.

Art Crawl!!!

You know, there could be a wormhole that brings Laika back.

Or you know. . . she could be the Queen Bitch of the Zombie Dogs from Outer Space.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I still don't get it.

Total random in joke. Quentin was supposed to see "Au Revoir..." on a date, but came out with a statement along the lines of "I don't wanna see no Reservoir Dogs", and I think he just filed the phrase away as enigmatic.

Your tag here.

Regarding WotW, I am tommyrot. Aside from a big gaping plot hole (well, at least one), the movie was generally fun.
