Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Cheater! You just copied and pasted you reply from one thread to the other!

(What do you mean I just did the same thing? I'll have you know I typed each of those posts by hand, through 6 feet of snow, uphill, both ways. The reason they look identical is because I take pride in my work. You young whipper-snappers and your mouse clicks and your CTRL+V. Back in my day...)

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

Always Anti-fascist!

Favorite Spielberg: ET(I know. But how did I know he was gonna want to make it twenty more times?!) And Schindler. Favorite Tom Cruise: The one that didn't make me think "Garth, take your Ritalin" circa about 1990.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Hubbard totally made up everything in Dianetics and the only thing he believed about it was the adulation, power, and (most importantly of all) money he made from it. The man was a pathalogical liar from childhood, who craved the lifestyle money brought.

Read Bare-Faced Messiah by Russell Miller for an excellent (and true) biography of Hubbard.

"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

I want to point out that it's not actually Scientology's metaphysics I'm contemptuous of, as Thetans and alien conquerers don't strike me as terribly further divorced from reality than angels and demonically possessed herds of swine. However, the ~~pyramid scheme~~church's organization and the behaviors that it encourages toward nonbelievers are another matter entirely.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

I'm with you Matt. My main beef with Scientology is that salvation should not cost a quarter to a half a million dollars.

I do hold their cosmology in contempt, but no moreso than any other cosmology I hold in contempt.

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

I'm more partial to cosmologies with a little more seasoning. A 2000 year old tale of thetans works better for me.

Speaking of Tom Cruise, someone had this as part of their signature on a message board. Made me go WTF and laugh at the same time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Xenu the Space Clam died for your sins!!

Pfft. Xenu died for no one! Xenu exploded several million other beings for your sins!
