Nobody makes me bleed my own blood! Nobody!
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste.

move out and draw fire
And hey, Raimi and Campbell.
We watched Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural last night. Amazon recommended it, and it had potential. Clearly all the Amazon reviews were written by friends of the filmmakers. The Goth Gibson Girl vampire was very cool, but you should never name a vampire anything that sounds like "remora."
There was a trailer on the DVD for a flick called Blue Sunshine that seems to be some sort of corporate conspiracy thing...wonder if that's where "Blue Sun" came from?

Saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Friday night.
I want to have Johnny Depp's babies. I thought the best Johnny scene was when he opened the gate for Veruca's father to go and rescue her from the garbage shute. The look on JD's face is so sinister and shows his obviously well thought out intentions. Very subtle but effective.
Today I'm going to see the Penguin movie with Sue. After reading askye's summarization, I'm a little worried.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw The Island and Wedding Crashers last night. Liked The Island a lot, after I firmly suppressed all my "Hey. that doesn't make any sense" tendencies and just went with the "Cool, pretty" ones. Ewan was adorable. We went with friends and she had never really liked him in anything but did in this, so he can win over even non-Ewan peeps.
Wedding Crashers was a really fun movie for the first hour. Great chemistry beween Vaughn and Wilson, and the Rachel McAdams was incandescent. That girl is gonna be a big ole movie star, mark my words. Second hour got rather sloooow, but I still enjoyed it.

Thrive to spite them
Megan--- March of the Penguins is very good, there were a lot of kids in the audience who really seemed to like it. It's just that the movie doesn't white wash the reality of what the penguins face in such a harsh enviornment.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
La la la everything is fine in penguin-land la la la....
OK, MotP is playing at a theater within walking distance. So today I'll be able to watch penguins and escape the 100 degree heat in one swell foop.

The Goth Gibson Girl vampire
Okay, I will now freely admit that I am shallow, because I will search out and watch this movie only because of that phrase.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Knowing this about you, I Tivoed an episode of Danny Phantom because the villain was a Goth Girl Ghost Pirate Rock Star.
