Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

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.

Omar is eminently quotable. They've flirted a bit with Spike-ifying him, but have managed to keep him on the side of angels.

Always Anti-fascist!

Omar is nobody's fucking woobie, dawg.(Not an icon, but should be.) Fuck that shit.

Another Omar quote I really like:

LEVY: How do you rob drug dealers and live to tell about it?

OMAR: A day at a time, I suppose.

Possibly,that's in the delivery, though.

Thrive to spite them

I love Omar on the stand.

I think it changed my life. Most places, I would not say that for fear of looking like a punk-assed bitch, but Buffistas get that kind of thing. Even those of you who have not netflixed the Wire yet. Kima makes me think of ita because she is tough and eager to take (and give) punishment...it's not exactly a separated at birth resemblance, but most people are happier not hassling either, I'd bet.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I saw this over at Defamer and it's fucking hysterical: recut trailer for The Shining.

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

HMOG, that is brilliant.

It's amazing what a difference a soundtrack (and very judicial editing) makes.

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

It's amazing what a difference a soundtrack (and very judicial editing) makes.

Amen to that.

Sound and editing are easily the most powerful tools the motion picture industry has. It's pretty phenomenal how easily manipulated all the other pieces are by those two elements.

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

That is beautiful.

Buncha dadgum post skippers. It's like I'm not even here.
