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

Oooh! Loved Cube. Nice low-budget Canuk horror. Also, from what I've heard, they only had three or four of those walls, so it was especially tricky shooting sequences where they were in one room and looking into the next.

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

Brainy Jewish Guy. Love them. I don't even mind going to the dentist as much as I should.

You should be watching Numbers then and loving on David Krumholz.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I loved on David Krumholtz when he was a soft teenager standing in his tighty-whities singing Frank Sinatra like a true lizard ( The Slums of Beverly Hills ), and don't need no stinkin' math whiz TV show to inspire teh love.

I saw Bad Education Thursday. Is it me, or does it seem like it would be a better movie if the last 20 minutes were a billion percent less complicated? Excellent sense of time and place, though. To waste time, two people go to a film noir festival (which was wildly popular in the 80s in Spain.)

Always Anti-fascist!

Probably, Hec, I've not seen it, though. And I forgot to give big props to Woody, who is like the Little Richard of this particular affection.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We went to this [link] today. Very cool exhibit--lots of film clips and posters and costumes and all very well curated. For example, Leone originally saw Eastwood in episode 91 of "Rawhide" and was impressed with him and decided to go after him for his own Western. They have a long clip from that episode, so you can see exactly what Leone saw. Lots of fun and I am now adding Once Upon a Time in the West to my Netflix queue.

Oooh! I keep driving through the park to get back and forth to Burbank, and I see the banners for that up at the museum. I really want to see that exhibit while it's here.

Oh cool!

Bill Murray's next movie is also Jim Jarmusch's next film: [link]

Hey. New board.

Just saw the Aristocrats.

Hee.

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

What? You bastard.

I watched Cartman's rendition of the joke, and my face hurt from laughing. I can't imagine a whole movie's worth of that. It feels like it might lose the shock value and get repetitive after a while. Plus, the punchline isn't funny.

I still can't wait to see it, though.

Hey. New board.

Believe me, the lack of funny punchline is discussed. And every single delivery is quite different.

Saget's version was quite possibly the best-delivered. I really loved Sarah Silverman's take on it, too. Funny, funny stuff.
