So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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.

Yes, Fay, you must see Say Anything.

Although, I agree with ita:

I mean, I like Dobler a lot, but I'd leave him for Blank

Broog, Alien Film Critic, on Sin City:

Broog chanced to see Sin City not long ago, and was horrified to discover not a sprawling universe of evil, lust, and murder, but a violent group therapy session in which the angels and the damned alike reveal their emotions not through action but through sub-Chandler monologuing of which the master criminal in The Incredibles would be ashamed.

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

What went through Fiveson's head as Bay's movie unfolded?

"I was thinking 'Jeez, this looks so much better than my movie. I wish I had the money.' "

Heh. I like this guy.

Seriously, yo. Even when the characters are literally dying, they WON'T SHUT UP!

On the other hand, Nicky Katt's scene was a hoot.

Heh -- yes, that was hilarious. I kept snickering long after the scene had moved on.

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

I saw Say Anything when I was in college. I had already fallen in love with Gib in The Sure Thing and therefore saw Better off Dead in the theater. More love. Grosse Point Blank having a class reunion for my high school class sealed the deal.

I love the 80s pop culture detective idea.

Aha, so that's the Usual Suspects 2 angle Keyser Soze = Lex Luthor

I'm trying to think of a death scene I've laughed harder at. There were a couple that came to mind at the time, but I'm memfaulting on them now. Oh yeah, one of them was Pee-Wee's in the Buffy movie. This one was better because it didn't take me right out of the movie.

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

Best. Death. EVER.
