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.

Caddyshack was just silly bad

You are DEAD to me. D-E-D.

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

I liked the gopher scenes. Does that count?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Caddyshack is indeed just silly bad, but worth the price of rental just for the Murray/gopher sequences and the priest golfing-through-the-storm bit.

move out and draw fire

And the quotes! Caddyshack quotes are so pervasive that most people forget they are from a movie. Sort of the way "X has no Y. X needs no Y." will probably be in a few years.

Anyone seen Murderball ? It's got 100% tomato-meter. I ran into a couple of the athletes at the end of the para-Olympics last year, and I'm interested to see the film.

The Cinderella story, out of nowhere....

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

Also saw F4. Man, the stretches without Chris Evans were LONG.

This statement is a bit of a stunner for Brits, who are familiar with only one famous Chris Evans, the ginger former darling/enfant terrible/entrepreneur of British Radio & TV who married wee Billie (Dr Who) Piper when he was 35 she was 19. (At which point both of their careers nosedived.) He's just recently been in the news, having signed up for a show on Radio 2 after 4 years out of the limelight.

...but I'm hazarding a guess that he isn't in The Fantastic Four. Although that would be enough to make me go and see it, for sheer surrealism value.

picturing the British Chris Evans in Fantastic Four and HOWLING with laughter

Except that the ginger Chris Evans is the anti-funny. It would end up being an exercise is endurance. I think Billie Piper wins with her two and whatever years.
