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.

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

The teaser sequence made it quite clear that I wouldn't be able to stand a full 90 minutes of it.

That's how I felt about The Tuxedo, which begins with a deer peeing in a river. Unfortunately, I stayed for the whole thing.

Hey. New board.

200 all time lowest ranked movies at Metacritic

It's fascinating. Only one Highlander movie is on there, though: Endgame (which one is that?)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Only one Highlander movie is on there, though: Endgame

Their list of movies prior to 1999 is incomplete.

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

Okay, see -- Half Baked was so much fun! Not bad. Pfft. Silly people.

The Highlander: Endgame thing is unfair. I think they should have entered Highlander 2 into their database, because that's just misleading.

Ah, right. Sorry. I didn't know when Highlander movies came out. Never interested me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Me too. All I know of Highlander is... There can be only one.

Except later on that wasn't true?

Hey. New board.

I hear there's immortals and swords involved.

And yet, still, I'm not interested. Why, I don't know, because immortals? Swords? My kind of thing.

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

In the end there can be only one. Meanwhile there are scads.

In the end-end, there will probably be none.

Still, it's catchy.

My understanding is that the immortals were annoying....

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