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.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

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.

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

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

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.

I even searched the thread for "Shining." But since I can't play the thing at work I didn't see it the first time 'round...sorry.

Corwood, sorry! I was at work when you posted it, and my work computer won't play movies, so I appreciated bon bon's reminder to watch it.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Makes me wonder if the air traffic controllers' union got up in arms over "Pushing Tin," it being only the first example to come to mind of a film that portrays people in a certain profession acting less than professionally.
I watched it with my brother-in-law, who at the time managed a control tower, and he was spitting blood.
And yeah, Omar on the stand is just brilliant. "That weren't no attempted murder; I just shot him in the ass, made it hard to sit down".
