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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A friend of mine says that we quote movies today the way people 200 years ago quoted the classical authors.

Woah.

Always Anti-fascist!

I see it, in most cases, as a function of bonding rather than wisdom. If I meet somebody about my age and say "Why would anybody steal a screw?" generally it's an icebreaker. And if I meet a stranger and say "Lost art, ducking." and they Get It, I tend to think certain things about their world view and taste in entertainment...but sometimes I'm wrong.

No SHIT! Yeah! Gotta go with you on that, Corwood. I actually have my taped version of PAT GARRETT... labeled "The Smiling Cobra Version"

Granted, in a lot of ways, it's RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY getting a decent release that chuffs me most.

I'm even excited about Cable Hogue. Ah, Cable! Cable! Where ya been? Why'd you leave me for so long?

Sorry, John Cale took over my brain for a moment.

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

We're watching Deadwood, thanks to Netflix. Not having HBO means we get to save interesting shows for whenever.

So far, I'm enjoying it, cocksuckers.

That'll be your new favorite word for a while. How far in are you?

Ooo! I like the other things the HPHLS has done, and that's a great poster.
