Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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.

OMG, I forgot there was a Jason movie in space.

With half the cast of Andromeda in it, IIRC.

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

Gleason is going to be great as Mad-Eye, even though I had always pictured Patrick Stewart as Moody ever since I first read the book.

Heh. Even though I knew they weren't going to cast American actors, I kept picturing Dennis Hopper as Mad-Eye.

move out and draw fire

I know it's past time for being helpful, but Dead Alive is also a funny scary movie.

or more Carpenter, They Live has a funny 20-minute fight with two muscled guys trying to get each other to put on sunglasses.

Best. Fight scene. Evar.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

And so many great cheesy quotes, too:

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.

This is DH's FAVORITE movie line. Ever.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Oooh. I just found out that Toby Stephens (a fetching young red-haired actor of British TV and movies) is Dame Maggie Smith's son. I think I have my mental Bill Weasley cast. Plus, his mum's in the flicks already, so it shouldn't be much of a hassle to get him to sign on.

Vonnie, if you've seen Branagh's Henry V, you've seen Toby's dad. Robert Stephens, an acclaimed Shakespearian actor of the 1960s and at the time considered on the same level as Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole until he crawled into a bottle for most of the 1970s, played Aged Pistol in that movie.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

It's been years since I've seen Branagh's Henry V so I don't recall him very well, but this photo of the presumably young Robert Stephens doesn't resemble Toby that much other than the same impression of lanky physicality.

Great Shakespearian actors and the affinity to bottle seem to go hand-in-hand.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I saw Capote over the weekend. I really liked it, which surprised me since I really don't like Philip Seymour Hoffman. He was great in this, which was no small feat considering the schtick he had to employ. Great job. Catherine Keener (the reason I went to the movie) was wonderful as usual.
