ita's making me want a Spy Kids DVD again. I keep resisting because it actually markets "interactive menu" as a special feature, which annoys. Want special edition!
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

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.

Hey. New board.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And the quotes! Caddyshack quotes are so pervasive that most people forget they are from a movie.
Sorta like Hamlet....

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Or the Bible.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
People quote the Bible?
You don't say.

Yep. Just the other day I said, "Dude, I'm totally coveting my neighbor's manservant."

Apparently, there was an advanced screening of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire here in Chicago last night (people got passes to an unnamed film when going to see the Miyazaki film). Reports are up over at the Oscarwatch and Leaky Cauldron forums, if you're interested. The Oscarwatch report is from a woman who'd read the first book and saw all three movies, but was unfamiliar with the storyline of GoF as well as most of the character names (she initially called McGonagall "not Miss Brodie"), so her report wasn't as spoilerfilled as what I read at the Leaky Cauldron site.
It seems like it sticks pretty close to the book, though, and is more in the tone of PoA, not the first two movies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yay!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Yep. Just the other day I said, "Dude, I'm totally coveting my neighbor's manservant."
Ah. This is what you get for living next door to Bertie Wooster.
Also, I second ita's Yay.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Thirding the Yay. With a whoop and a grin.
Can.not.WAIT. I'm more anxious for GoF than for any of the previous HP's. I think it's partly because the first two were kids' movies, the third one wasn't, so much. And partly because there's been no new LotR movie released to occupy my thirst for well-done fantasy.
We finally saw House of Flying Daggers, and now I'm already considering another two-hour trip, each way, to see Howl's Moving Castle again, because I've seen (or own) everything Miyazaki has in release. I will not be fobbed off with FF. More Chinese fairy tales! More fantasy! I neeeeed it!

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Just got back from War of the Worlds, which, while having a completely STUPID final three minutes, freaked. my. shit. out. I was excited to see aliens blowing shit up, but was not expecting it to be so terrifying.
Nice surprise: no commercials ... but only one preview (for King Kong, which I don't think I'm interested in seeing. Maybe.).
