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.

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

and so did her mom, it appears!)

Bebe Buell's probably the most famous groupie of all. Well, okay, maybe Pamela Des Barres.

I'm With The Band is a great read, btw.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Was she married to Michael Des Barres (whom I only know from To Sir, With Love)?

I think Gloria Plaster Caster would edge her out too.

One of my all-time favorite trashy reads.

Yep, she used to be married to Michael Des Barres.

AKA Murdoc on MacGyver.

Iggy Pop should be in a movie with Seth Green. It would rock.

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

This particular short story is so short, and has more of a point than a plot -- it gives you a lot of leeway. And if the story is so short, there's no reason to extrapolate its excellence into your movie -- you've got to add so much, you can't piggyback on the original author's brilliance.

At this point I've lowered my expectations to Ed Burns looking sweatily heroic as he evades dinosaurs in the jungle.

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

Yay, dinosaurs!

Now tagless for your comfort.

At this point I've lowered my expectations to Ed Burns looking sweatily heroic as he evades dinosaurs in the jungle.

The Sound of Thunder was one of the first sci-fi short stories to get me hooked on the genre. That, along with Green Patches and He Built a Crooked House.

I hope they don't cock up the story.

We watched Layer Cake last night and the soundtrack is incredible! I have to admit being completely addicted to English gangster films.
