Mostly what I took away from Underworld was a desire to own the heroine's long leather coat and a sense of enjoyable mockage. I still think it would make a fun double feature with Van Helsing. On some grey, February day have a bunch of friends over, mix up some strong magaritas, and MST3K the hell out of 'em.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The movie is visually well-done. But beyond that, the only enjoyment I got out of it (and I know I've mentioned this before, sorry for the repeat) was the lame two-whip-wielding vampire getting his face chomped on for doing something so stupid.

Why did none of the werewolf-fighting vampires have stuff to take advantage of werewolves' canine nature, like ultrasonic whistles, pepper spray, or squeaky chew toys?

Right. Why did they never flee into a bathroom, open the toilet lid and then duck out the window? Or throw a stick in the opposite direction? Or use a box of milkbones as a distraction or bait? Lots of missed oppurtunities there.

Personally I was hoping to see the vampire whose choice of weaponry was a sack full of soaking wet housecats that he'd open and fling in the werewolves' faces.

Hey. New board.
Help! Do I see Red Eye or the 40-year-old Virgin tonight?
Why they gotta release TWO major release movies I want to see, on one day, after weeks and weeks of nuthin?
ETA: They even have exactly the same Metacritic score! And it's a good one! (70)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I was planning to buy one ticket and sneak into the other one.

Hey. New board.
Sadly, the times of the movies does not make that too feasible for me.
I can do 7:20 Virgin, but it's two hours long and Red start sat 9:10 OR I could do 7:00 Red, but it's only 85 minutes long and Virgin doesn't start until 10:20.
