Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

I'd say Brit villainy dates rather to the early Bond films. Blofeld and Dr. No and Goldfinger and the like.

I think that deciding from British movies that British guys are the bad guys shows a certain lack of perception and imagination. Unless Felix Leiter was the only hero.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Plus Blofeld and Goldfinger are Middle-European (which is code for Jewish, natch) and Dr No is Chinese.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

(Well, that and threatening to give people detention/giving stickers to the good kids.)

Not to mention threatening them with stinkfoot, missy.

PS, come to Seattle. We promise not to cage you unless asked. Anyhow, it's not like Pete will actually LET Jilli have an arc welder...

I think movies should take their cue from South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut and make all the baddies Canadian. Also, they should all be shirtless, and played by Paul Gross and/or CKR. Or Nicholas Lea.

Or what's his face, from ENG. Can he pull off shirtless? Hmm. Well, he can be clothed.

(Welcome to "Plei had coffee at 11:30 and is now officially loopy as hell.")

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

...I've actually been looking at the cost of flights to Seattle. Um. Just out of curiosity, you know?

Um.

I second this motion.

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

Mirrormask clip.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something that makes me think that Jilli is going to enjoy this movie.

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

This comic combines two recent topics of conversation: Batman and zombies. Enjoy.

Mirrormask looks creee--py. In a good way. Does Dave McKean do Gaiman's book covers?

ETA: What's the music in the trailer? Anyone know?

McKean and Gaiman have been working together forever, on Sandman and assorted other titles. McKean also did the illustrations for Coraline, Wolves in the Walls and The Day I swapped my Dad For Two Goldfish.

I assumed so. The movie looks just like the art on everything Gaiman.
