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.

I haven't seen any Highlander movie except the first, but I thought Endgame was..well..the end of the game.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
When there's a franchise to be flogged? Never!

If they can ignore the whole alien thing, I'm fairly sure they can ignore any so-called end to the game. Maybe it was all a dream...

Also, the game, in the sense of The Game, didn't actually end in movie number 4.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
But you'd heard of The X Men before their movie came out, yes?
I can say yes to this.
so the print of Bats at the IMAX is not just the regular print, but the IMAX print, right?
It didn't take up the full IMAX screen so I'm saying no. (But it's still bigger than the regular screen size.)

How many Immortals are left? Did they just come to a truce and say "hey! We want to live forever! so let's just ignore the whole There Can be Only One thing?"

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I didn't know what the Fantastic Four were till relatively recently. I mean, one could guess from the name that they came from comic books, but they cropped up vaguely in threads, and in conversation with longtime comic-folks I know, without explanation.
I have seen stuff with a flamey guy, and a guy made of Bubba Yum, before, possibly even in superhero (cartoon Justice League, from when I was a kid?) context, but the phrase "Fantastic Four" or any series about same was foreign to me till the movie gossip started.
(Actually, I think the Bubba Yum guy may coincide, in my muddled brain, with several versions of televised Plastic Man, some of them parodic. And there always seems to be a flamey guy and an ice guy, you know? Which, if you think about, makes no sense in the Medieval sense of four elements, and makes no sense in the modern sense of process -- combustion -- vs. object, but whatever.)
As a datapoint, I've never read a comic specifically about The Flash, and I don't know any of his mythology, but I know what his super power is and could reliably pick him out of a lineup if he were in costume. Also, thanks to Allyson's vocal disbelief, I know that pee in the snow would absolutely flummox that green ring guy. (But I don't know whether that guy is the Green Arrow or Green Lantern, and really, the pantheon of minor superheroes is just too crowded, isn't it?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
(cartoon Justice League, from when I was a kid?)
That's from the wrong company. Maybe here?

Who's on your pantheon of major?

Pretty sure not. If it was anything, it was some group-o'-heroes type of show, on TV, during the 80s. I literally did not know what the phrase "Fantastic Four" meant until recently.
Who's on your pantheon of major?
Hm. Batman, Spiderman, Superman. I think the only way Wonder Woman gets there is as an affirmative-action nominee, or as a "well, she's wearing hot pants and a bustier" nominee. Really, that's it, I guess. Or, possibly them and the Wonder Twins.
