I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

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.

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.

It's not for you.

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.

It's certainly in my top ten, if not top five. I only wish their damn keyword search worked properly so I could find it more easily.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Just do a Wiki search for Twisp and Catsby like normal folk. Wikipedia has made many site-internal boolean searches redundant.
