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.

One of the Marx Brothers films (A Night at the Opera?)--the first line is Margaret Dumont, and the respondent is, of course, Groucho.
You're not so bad... you just dress bad.
I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way.
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very very brightly, Roy. Revel in your time!
My own brother a goddamn, shit-sucking vampire! Oh, you wait 'til mom finds out buddy.
Ah, perfect! Yes, I knew Hawkeye is big into the Groucho and that MASH frequently borrowed from it. That's why I wanted to see. Still, how weird is it that Kathy posted that quote a few seconds before I heard a tribute to it on the show?
