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.

I would never, in a million years, recognize him, even if he came up to me and said "Hi, I'm Mark Ruffalo, the actor who your invisible friends like." He just looks like Some Dude.

Dude, if that's what Some Dudes look like in your neck of the woods, no wonder you're not fleeing Ohio.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, I think Good Looking Regular Guy has been his thing. He's got nice eyes though. And of course I LOVED him as the can-you-trust-him-or not police detective...does ita dig a good fight scene?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Firth is in that new movie with Kevin Bacon that was slapped with an NC-17 rating for a threesome they have with the female lead.

I hate to sound like the lead in Bones, but I have no idea what you're talking about.

Teppy, rent In the Cut. It's not a great movie, but Ruffalo is intensely hot in it. Even with a goofy mustache. He's great in You Can Count on Me as well.

I have never heard of these movies. t /Bones

Teppy, Ruffalo was Elijah's buddy in Eternal Sunshine, too.

I vaguely remember the character, but not what he looked like.

Teppy seems to have a neurological deficit where she can't recognize dark haired men. It's a new Oliver Saks book in the making: The Blonde Who Mistook A Brunette for Some Guy.

Dark-Haired Dudes Teppy Can Recognize:

Ben Browder
David Boreanaz
Peter Gallagher
George Clooney
Adam Brody
that one guy, who was in the thing with the other guy

I would never, in a million years, recognize him, even if he came up to me and said "Hi, I'm Mark Ruffalo, the actor who your invisible friends like." He just looks like Some Dude.

Dude, if that's what Some Dudes look like in your neck of the woods, no wonder you're not fleeing Ohio.

Is he considered hot? He looks kind of....dirty to me. In the unwashed way, not the porn way. This is a Steve Buscemi thing, isn't it?

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

I have never heard of these movies.

Well, you have now, young lady. Go, rent, watch.

tries to hack into Teppy's netflix queue.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Colin Firth was Jamie in "Love Actually". The guy who goes to France after catching his wife and brother fucking at the beginning. He falls in love with Aurelia.

Blahblahblah, Thinking Woman's Sex-Symbol or some such BS crap label.

No, it's not a Steve Buscemi thing. Steve Buscemi is like absinthe or something, weird and kind of an unusual taste. Ruffalo, however, is more like a good rum.

This makes so much sense in my head, and I'm not even drunk.

He's one of the ones you have to see in motion.

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

Ruffalo's very good old guy. It took me a while to be able to recognise him too -- I think it was developing the fondness for one of his characters that sealed the deal.

Didn't see it. It looked like the type of chick flick I hate, because it points out so acutely the Hindenberg that is my own love life.
