I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Seriously? I wondered if that's who you could have meant. I don't know anything about the Beast, so will reserve judgment, but he's definitely not someone I would have immediately thought to connect with the X-Men franchise.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Who are you casting as Dracula, DX?

David beat me to it with Reiner, or George Hamilton if Carl can't do it.

"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

With a tan like his, George Hamilton would be the most fantastically ironic Dracula ever.

It was pretty cheese-tastic, but fun.

I saw that at a horror movie marathon - you've never heard so much laughing during a (gratuitous and solarized) sex scene. I wish I had seen Langella do the play with the Edward Gorey designed sets though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Uhm, he already was the most fantastically ironic Dracula ever.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

He has been, Mr. Broom. Love at First Bite. Which I believe is newly out on DVD, but I saw in the theater.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I remember lots of girls swooning over Langella in the movie. I liked him, and especially his wonderful deep voice, but not one of my big crushes.

That particular film Dracula was based on the stage play with the Gorey sets from the 70s, with Langella as the lead. I saw it on Broadway with Raul Julia as Dracula and he was awesome.
