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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

In it Duncan and Methos were in a sword fight to the death, but in the end they couldn't kill each other, because "they love one another" (his quote), and so they both walk away bloodied and weakened, but alive.

God, I'm such a sucker, because if this is in the movie? I'm so there.

Thrive to spite them

I suddenly flashed on all the really earnest, but really bad vids (most likely to sarah mclachlan) that will be made if that's in the movie.

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

Fantastic Four launched Marvel as a superhero company. (Kirby and Lee had already been working together on monster comics.) They're definitely in the pantheon of Major Heroes, and the first 100 issues are all essential for creating the Marvelverse. Mas importante (in the comics world anyway).

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

I don't know how true it is. At least the new HL movie can't be worse than Endgame. right?

They said the same thing about Highlander II: The Quickening

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

It's amazing how little perspective I have on who knows what about comics without being a reader. I figured that everyone knew Batman's parents had been killed, for instance.

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

The Fantastic Four may well have been the very first comic book characters I discovered. When I was really really young, I read some sort of a children's book about them. You know, with very little text and lots of colorful pictures. I may have crushed on the Invisible Woman.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

I've never read a Batman comic and I knew his parents have been killed. I don't know where I picked that up, though.

Always Anti-fascist!

I used to read the FF comic a lot, when I read comics.

Thrive to spite them

I'm pretty sure in the first Batman movie they showed his parents dying.

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

I figured that everyone knew Batman's parents had been killed, for instance.

Is it really possible to have heard of Batman and not know this?
