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.

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."

And I think in that light, Tim represents the part of Bruce that he squashed down years and years ago -- the part that can choose what to make of his life.

Ooo, good point. Have you read the issues where Tim goes around the world and gets himself trained? It echos Bruce's training, but Tim's motivation is so very different. Tim wasn't, at least originally, a rescue, where the other three were (even, and I think sometimes especially, Steph), and that makes all the difference.

Are you kidding? I have the TPB of those issues!

On a totally different topic related to the movie, did you catch the size of the hands on LN?

Do you even have to ask?

I just saw "Rory O'Shea Was Here"...It was the best disability movie since X2.

I went and saw Fantastic Four this afternoon. Not great cinema, but it was enjoyable enough for matinee prices. As expected Chicklis and Evans were perfectly cast, and I thought Griffud did a good job as well. McMahon tried gamely, but the writers completely fouled up his character. Whereas Alba at no point convinced me that she was a scientist. Or a blonde .

Is that the one I put on your radar, or something else?

I've got the Josie soundtrack. I want the DVD because it has DuJour videos as extras.

Yeah, Hec, you did...I think I saw the trailer, too, not long after. Part of my 'tude is Irish, as I always suspected. Almost everything in that film related to my life in some way, except that I never fell deeply for an attendant...just passing dirty thoughts. The early scenes reminded me of the place I lived where I didn't cut my hair for a year as a protest. I hated it, but they hated it more. So I felt like I won. Even if my prize was looking like Cousin Itt.(You would've wanted to throw a telethon for me, sure you would. Sorry...couldn't resist one imitation.)
