I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

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.

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

They may be hard to find. I got mine from UKnova, but you have to be a member to get at the torrents. E-me if you're having trouble locating it and I'll see what I can do.

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

I'm a member there too, so I'll look when I get home.

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

I believe the British version ended with Mr Bennett's (and how wonderful was Sutherland in the role?) final line about being "completely at his leisure." They are adding the US scene back to the British release. [link] I liked it, but I am schmoopy that way.

Art Crawl!!!

Ah, that's where the difference is. I wondered. (I actually guessed it.)

Is that James McAvoy playing the faun in Narnia?

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

They are adding the US scene back to the British release.

Feh. HATED that scene. It made me embarrassed for the actors.

move out and draw fire

I'm sure that MST3K tried to get their hands on that film many times.

I'm sure. Although, it was so close to a sexploitation flick they'd've had to do some judicious editing, or standing up to block the titties or what have you.

I always wanted them today more "adult" flicks as well as more mainstream flicks. I mean, it'd make it almost worth it to watch the movies if I could have seen the MST guys do smArmageddon or Showgirls and such.

Their take on MAROONED (in a cut-down, local-TV broadcast version called SPACE TRAVELLERS), which had Gregory Peck, Gene Hackman, David Janssen and a number of other recognizable actors in a big-budget, rather dull space-race epic (which was not unlike watching a slow-mo version of APOLLO 13), was hysterical.

Oh Gene Hackman, he's good in anything!

I join you in that wish, considering that their review of that Italian Gor movie was the most hilarious show I've ever seen them do. The song "Tubular Boobular Joy" alone justifies the existence of the entire series.

I personally have to say their shorts MR. B NATURAL, CATCHING TROUBLE and CIRCUS ON ICE top my list laugh-until-you-can't-breathe items from them, but that GOR movie was priceless.
