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.

I thought she did ok...nothing brilliant, though. It's kind of too bad she didn't have say AH's chops. But this enabled John to own the movie so I can't really complain about it.

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

Is this a TV cartoon, and if so, when/where does it air?

As Sumi notes, it's on Cartoon Network, and I'm not sure when but TiVo knows.

It's set in Orchid Bay (?) - which looks suspiciously like San Francisco. Asian family, young teen/tween daughter has historic family responsibility to fight demons etc. Winick has copped to the Buffy influence.

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

Thanks Sumi and Hec! I will have tivo look for it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Psst, Hec: Winick.

Single n.

Also, you really ought to read Barry Ween.

Corrected. And I would like to note that I inconsistently had it correct the first time.

Also, you really ought to read Barry Ween.

How come?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Cause it's about a boy genius. And there are gorillas.

How come?

It's amazingly funny, while also managing to get you emotionally invested in the characters in question. Also, there are monkeys.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I am however practically unable to stop watching "Dirty Dancing" if I find it.

erika, once again we share a brain. For a while, Bravo was showing Dirty Dancing all the time, sometimes twice in a row, and I'd get sucked in, mesmerized, and watch the whole. damn. thing.

When Starz debuted, everyone with cable got it for free the first month.

Dirty Dancing was on heavy rotation.

I watched it a lot.

Later, when I went to Hawaii with my parents, and there was nothing to do after 7pm, I found myself in a similar situation with another heavy rotation on cable movie involving Swayze.

I've seen Point Break almost as many times as I have Dirty Dancing.

It's pretty sad.

Always Anti-fascist!

Sometimes I can, if, as today, I just watched it yesterday. I ought not to see it for a week now. Sometimes, I can blame hormones, but not always. I mean, I love it, but there are many things I love that I don't get so fixated on.
