That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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.

Up with the sun

It's the BESTEST movie ever. It's funny and smart and the music is pretty good and it has lines like "Orange is the new pink" and "Puppies turn into dogs that get old and DIE," which aren't so funny out of context but which you will quote forever if you hear them in context. And Tara Reid is actually pretty tolerable when she's playing an idiot. I think the marketing screwed them.

I bet D. Griswold would like it, if he's about.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

YES! Tara Reid was a little too convincing as an airhead, but she was funny.

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

I just watched Josie and the Pussycat and thought it was hilarious and completely awesome. How did I go so long without seeing this?

Oh, I love that movie! I went to the premiere with a filmcritic friend, and the promotional tickets were attached to glittery purple studded cat collars.

Backdoor Lover is my very favourite boyband song ever ever in the history of ever. "DuJour means friendship." And how hot are the girls? Oh my God. Gah. Rosario Dawson. Gah.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I almost bought Josie when I was in Cincinnati with Steph, but I didn't. Probably because she sucks.

I love the sound track too.

Yes! Yesyesyes! It was so funny, because the whole movie was all about getting people to buy stuff, and I came out of the movie going "I need to buy the soundtrack!" in the manner of the girls who were all "pink is the new orange"

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I almost bought Josie when I was in Cincinnati with Steph, but I didn't. Probably because she sucks.

I'm fairly certain this isn't the case. Your failure to buy it is a classic symptom of you sucking.

Hey. New board.

Interesting. I guess I know what I should rent next.

The evil is this way?

I saw the "King Kong' trailer last night. Really good.

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

Everything that's good about the movie, except for the music and dancing!

move out and draw fire

I used to have that! Along with my original Star Wars comics, long gone these many years. That's where I learned the word "galvanized."
