Yes, but why quibble? I wasn't picky.

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 lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
For me, it's Steven Seagal's character being blown out of a disintegrating airlock contraption and bouncing off the fuselage of a plane in Executive Decision. That death scene was so satisfying I needed a cigarette afterwards
The fact that this happened about 20 minutes into the film made it even better. I laughed so hard I had to pause the movie for five minutes.

Up with the sun
Lloyd Dobler is the perfect version of the regular guy. Jake Ryan is the perfect version of the perfect guy.
Perzactly. Jake is a tabula rasa; I could never crush on him because he didn't seem real. Lloyd, OTOH, is real and goofy and the perfect boyfriend.
I think I saw Say Anything in college sometime, though, so I didn't really grow up with it hanging over my head.

My favorite death scene ever was Samuel L. Jackson in Deep Blue Sea . I was slack jawed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I could feel the entire theater audience jump out of their seats. It was fucking awesome.

For a seriously jaded movie freak, it was perfect.

That movie is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. It's a slasher movie with sharks!

"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
"We increased the sharks' brain capacity. As a result, they got smarter."
That she manages to deliver this line with a tone of, "Who could have forseen that?" makes it easily the best line of the picture.
