No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video

Closed Film and TV threads

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’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I haven't seen the third one yet (A MIGHTY WIND) even though I own it.

The best part in it (for me) is when the theatre liason finally snaps. I may have overidentified a wee bit.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think that's why I like Waiting for Guffman the best. It's full of musical theater jokes.

Slightly off topic....

Did I just understand my TV correctly? Are they bringing back Kolchak: The Night Stalker with Stuart Townsend in the titular role?????

I don't know which is funnier - that somone thought it would be a good idea to bring it back, or that Stuart Townsend thought taking the role would be a good idea.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was gonna say -- I'm sure your enjoyment of the Guest movies is heavily related to which world(s) you know best.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Best Guest movie? Well, of the modern ones, Best In Show. But, for me there's no beating This Is Spın̈al Tap.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Spinal... Pap?

I haven't seen TiST in age. Methinks I should own that one.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'll take Stuart Townsend any day over Darin McGavin.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

So I need to buy Say Anything, then? 'Cause, er, I haven't seen it.

Um.

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

Aw, Point Break!

Man, I remember slashing that before I knew that slash existed! Watching it with 2 girl friends and one (gay) boy, and all of us yelling encouragement to the boys while they wrestled in the surf and exchanged long eyefucks. "It's not about the waves, it's about the energy." or something like that.

Man, though, there's some lovely cinematography in that film. The skydiving sequence makes me want to jump out of a plane. In a good way.

"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

Turns out Kevin Spacey really is the inheritor of Gene Hackman's movie estate. You'll do a double-take at the resemblance. Lex!
