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.

Regarding movie-going:

What I really, really hate is that not only are there commercials before the previews, there are now “inside looks” of tv shows and other crap blaring at you from the moment you enter the theater. It’s distracting, annoying, and it makes talking to the person you came with difficult. Why do they think that anyone wants to fork over ten dollars in order to watch Amy Grant blathering on about Three Wishes?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Mark Ruffalo was in episodes of due South? Really?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Joining the ranks of Colin Firth and Clive Owen as actors whose faces I can NEVER call to mind is apparently this Mark Ruffalo. I have NO idea who he is. Zero.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That's par for the course though, Ruffalo got a double dose of the Everyman/Regular Joe gene as far as how he comes off in movies.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

Mark Ruffalo was in episodes of due South? Really?

The first season, I believe.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I'm still annoyed at City of Angels

City of Angels may be my most hated movie ever. I disliked it all the way through, but Meg Ryan's stupid and pointless death put it over the top. I may have thrown things.

In other news, I too adore Mark Ruffalo. You Can Count On Me was such a fantastic movie, and he was great in Eternal Sunshine too. He's totally my real-world type, too: dark hair/dark eyes (with or without glasses), neither too tall nor too thin, nice mouth.

eta: hmm, I can't seem to find a good photo of him. The few I can find from Eternal Sunshine are all too dark. Honestly, it's not that he's a fantastically gorgeous guy. I just really like him. Great actor, too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Teppy, it's like you have blinders for all the guys I like. If I was single we could totally cruise bars together!

PS, you can see Mark Ruffalo naked in In the Cut.

Always Anti-fascist!

I loved that movie(that's not only why...apart from the dismemberments, It totally hit my buttons.)

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

I totally misread that as In and Out, and couldn't for the life of me figure out where Erika was getting dismemberment from.

But then I reread, and now all is well.

Hey. New board.

I really like Mark Ruffalo in 13 Going on 30. Which I loved. A lot.

Wait, since when do I act ashamed of my seriously young chick flick loving nature? Cancel the small font, above.
