Should I steer this topic in another direction?
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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!
I'd like to horn in on this discussion, actually.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Let's just put a steak in this discussion.... I couldn't stomach it even if I had four....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Will they be shooting the picture abroad so he doesn't have to soil himself with Western culture?
Pirates of the Caribbean? It's shooting in the Caribbean.

Have we milked this one for all it's worth yet?

I think by the time you're reusing pun terms, it's dead.
Looks like yesasia.com doesn't have an Ong Bak DVD with English subtitles, but for 7.99 and 2.99 shipping (how does that make business sense???) I'll take the VCD.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ouch -- Ebert's FF review:
It's all setup and demonstration, and naming and discussing and demonstrating, and it never digests the complications of the Fantastic Four and gets on to telling a compelling story. Sure, there's a nice sequence where the Thing keeps a fire truck from falling off a bridge, but you see one fire truck saved from falling off a bridge, you've seen them all.

My favourite review quote: "So bad it takes points away from BATMAN BEGINS." (pulled from rotten tomatoes).

It's disheartening when nearly all of the "fresh" reviews seem to be along the lines of "Well, at least it didn't suck as much as Batman and Robin!"
