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.

"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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Re ita's whitefont, I was expecting it to shatter, but apparently the answer is actually deportation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was expecting it to shatter too, except there's no way they'd kill. However, if they haven't killed him, he's alive. And I think deporting supervillians shows a huge lack of foresight.

Too true. I was expecting him to lose a finger and then cave or something. But no. But still they put him in a BOX!!!one! To LATVARIA!! See, it makes sense, really.

The pattern of question they were using for that setup just reminded me of an X-Men low point and begged for the melodramatic answer of "The same thing that happens to anything else..."
Thank god for the young hot Chris Evans.
I bought a Batman Begins ticket, watched those trailers, and then went into F4. Which means -- I got to see the Serenity trailer! Also, Zorro 2 and The Transporter 2. And Sky High twice. Seems like they may have expended all the funny scenes in that one. It's going to be a while before I look at movies like that without asking "So what do you have to offer that Spy Kids and The Incredibles haven't already done really well?"

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That was my exact reaction to the Sky High trailer, ita. I leaned over to Consuela and said, "so it's a live action Incredibles. Yawn."
