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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

That was (I thought) a really stupid movie. Didn't keep it from being a lot of fun, though (in my book).

If someone had told me it was a sports comedy, I'd have watched it AGES ago.

So thrillingly predictable.

That was Paul Bettany? Wow, I didn't even know I loved him before Master & Commander.

Yep. The Chaucer-in-a-pimp-coat was, in fact, Paul "Please Remain Naked" Bettany.

I sometimes have this theory that my marriage should allow me all the Pauls instead of just the one, which works well for Bettany and Gross, but falls apart at Reiser.

What about Ru?

I don't know Plei. Edie Brickell is a lot taller and has the reach on you... not sure I'd want to see you in a fight over the guy who sang "Kodachrome."

Oh, I fell in love with Pual Bettany in that movie! Just in love!

However, the movie REALLY irritated me. Not the anachronisms or anything, but the fact that something was so wrong with the love story that I thought, pretty much until the end of the movie, that Heath Ledger was going to end up with the nice armor making girl and not the dumb-ass lady.

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

I'm with Sophia -- it's not just that I was rooting for the blacksmith, it's that I really thought it was how the story would end, with him with the cool and sensible chick.

You'd think I'd never seen movies.

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

I'll put in a third for that. I honestly thought that's where they were going with the story, otherwise why tease us like that? I liked the movie for the most part, though.

I love that movie, but I tend to fast forward through the Shannon Sossamon (sp?) bits. And watch Paul Bettany's and Alan Tudyk's parts repeatedly. So brilliant. "I will FONG you!"

Fourth, so much so that I've ret-conned my memory, and he does end up with the cool chick.

And I'll jump right on fifth with wishing he'd hooked up with the cool armorer chick.

And I'd totally forgotten Alan Tudyk was in that! Almost as entertaining as Naked!Chaucer.

Dude, William was SO not worthy of Armor Girl Kate.

I found the lack of triangle refreshing, actually. Kate got to be one of the guys, as she totally would have wanted.
