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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Bob Saget is practically the bluest guy in the film, if not in comedy. Isn't that common knowledge? That Danny Tanner is a sick, sick comic?

I'm so backwards, I read this and all the subsequent posts scratching my head and thinking, Okay, I already knew about Saget, but who's this Danny Tanner guy?

"Sorry, I shouldn't have done that. Because I'm huge. No, sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I want YOU to say it. I'll pay you to say it."

Whoa, Danny Tanner made me laugh.

I had heard Bob Saget worked blue, but I was never sure how much of that was more in comparision to his TV persona than in comarison to other comics.

Also, I've read a few tellings of The Aristocrats joke, and it just gets monotonous. But the South Park clip that's floating around online is funny, and I'm told the movie is as well.

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

There's a The Aristocrats sound board. Hee!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

1. I do like the-- what would you call it? art direction of the ad campaign.

2. Man, it's hard to see that movie. Not playing in that many places. I just sent Bob out to make sure tonight's not sold out at Union Square.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I blinked & missed the chance to see it at the comedy festival. That'd have rocked.

The beauty of it is in how it's told. Really.

(And I had no idea that Saget was a potty-mouth. None.)

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

I just saw Marathon Man. Damn! That's a great little thriller there. Never a dull moment, and it has the balls not to explain what the fuck is going on for over half the movie.

Also, for all these years I thought "Is it safe?" referred to the actual dentistry (based on the Gremlins II reference), when in fact the pronoun refers to an object.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say, in an addled way.

Thrive to spite them

I started watching Cube. It's...odd.
