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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It was originally going to be 11/4, just because 11/5 is a Saturday, but releasing it in March is just LAME.

move out and draw fire

Lots of interesting news on that link, including Joe Ranft's death a couple days ago - his car exited the road and entered the Pacific Ocean. Jeez.

And that Angelina Jolie's going to be in Beowulf. Crap. I was really looking forward to Beowulf but, while I kinda like Jolie, I don't think she's ever been in a good movie.

move out and draw fire

Demarche, Demarche the Ides of March,
The Underground bombing...the Larch.
I can think of no reason
The release changes season
Unless studio execs lack the starch

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

Angelina Jolie's going to be in Beowulf

As what, Grendel's mother??

Grendel, one would hope.

Um, the "Queen of Darkness," according to the article.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

She could be Wealtheow (Hrothgar's wife) or Hygd (Hyglac's wife). Or, even better, if they act out Queen Modthryth's story, she'd be an excellent Queen Mod.

Hey. New board.

I still claim Girl, Interrupted was good.

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

I agree with you, Gris.

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

the "Queen of Darkness"

I think my fourth grade math teacher is not actually a character in Beowulf, although it would be funny to see her eaten by a thyrse.

I think Wealtheow and Hygd are probably not big enough roles for someone who can claim "tabloids smooshed my name!" This may end up being a very, very strange Beowulf.
