Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

Today I was flipping through the channels and found it. DH said, "Leave it, it's close to the moment of the funniest hit-by-a-car scene in movie history."

That's just weird, because I did the exact same thing on Sunday, only there was nobody to explain what was happening. I was channel-surfing. There was Brad Pitt. Then a car hit him. Then I laughed and laughed. Then I desperately tried to figure out what the hell I'd stumbled upon. Eventually I saw Hopkins and figured it out. And went back to surfing.

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

When I was over at my in-laws house on Saturday, they had a videotape of Meet Joe Black there.

I spent dinner afraid that they'd want us to watch it with them.

Except that movie comes with a ready-made excuse not to watch it, Plei -- "I'd love to, but I can't. I have plans a week from next Tuesday."

Hell, I think I'm still watching it.

I take it it's long? It appeared to come on two VHS tapes.

I'm still confused as to why my in-laws, who I'd swear have a DVD player, watch things on tape.

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

So....Doom sucked. I wanted to enjoy it on a "Yay, Karl Urban shooting things!" level, but...it sucked. It's just boring. And there's a lot of standing around talking, for some reason.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

I'm contemplating putting Meet Joe Black on my Netflix queue and skipping to that part.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Alicia, I was contemplating the exact same thing.

ION, I finally get to go see Serenity today.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

ION, I finally get to go see Serenity today.

I finally saw it last night. It was enjoyable.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

It's difficult to believe how long Meet Jo Black is, and how little happens in the film. I seriously wonder if they made everybody speak and act slowly just to drag it out..

move out and draw fire

A movie that's all padding! And they said it couldn't be done!
