Oooooo. Just found out that Mizayaki's Warriors of the Wind has just been re-released on DVD as Nausicaä of the Valley of the Winds. Not up to giving it the hours of rapt attention it deserves tonight, but I'm not making any plans for next weekend.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Wasn't that released a while ago? (I can't remember how long I've had it.)
ION, Why the Fantastic 4 Human Torch ATV (with Light-Up Headlights!) is the Worst Movie Tie-In Toy Ever
The Human Torch has no need for an "All-Terrain Vehicle"--because the last time I checked, the Human Torch can fucking FLY.
Has anyone told the Human Torch that it might not be safe to sit on top of a gas tank when one is on FIRE? Nice message to send the kids, assholes!
As you know, the Fantastic 4 lives and works in New York City--where driving an ATV is ILLEGAL. According to section 4-14, subsection 1 of the NYC municipal traffic code: "In order to provide for the maximum safe use of the expressways, drives, highways, interstate routes, bridges, and thruways, and to preserve life and limb thereon, the use of such highways by pedestrians, riders of horses, and operators of limited use vehicles [ATVs] and bicycles is prohibited." (Yes, I actually looked this up.)
The Fantastic 4 Human Torch™ ATV also has "light-up headlights!" Good thing, because there's nothing more useless than "dark-down headlights."
What does the freaking Human Torch need with headlights anyway? HE'S ON FIRE!

Hey. New board.
So I restarted my Netflix membership today, and put Josie in the queue, based on all your advice. It best not disappoint.
Of course, I didn't know Rachel Leigh Cook was the star until adding it. That helps. My She's All That love is stupid, but unabashed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For those of us playing the F4 game at home, what does happen superheated metal when you cool it suddenly? It becomes no longer responsible for its crimes? It returns home? It gets very very quiet?
I need to know.

Doesn't it splode or shatter in an exciting way (due to contracting too quickly) ?

Not in the movie, no.

Perhaps it gets weakened, structurally ? Which is probably more realistic. I assume this makes people a bit tense? I suppose it might make them happy, depending on what they're trying to accomplish.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I had a Bill Murray double feature today: Caddyshack and the Life Aquatic. Caddyshack was just silly bad, and I ended up wandering out of the room for a lot of it, but I quite liked the Life Aquatic, even if I am not sure why. The end scene was beautiful.

Caddyshack was just silly bad
