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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
A true story of Turkish Delight:
And so, with anticipation, I took a bite of the Turkish Delight. And a second later, spat it into my hand. It tasted like soap rolled in plaster dust, or like a lump of Renuzit air freshener: The texture was both waxy and filling-looseningly chewy. This … this? ... was the sweetmeat that led Edmund to betray his siblings and doomed Aslan to death on a stone slab?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Bwah! Can Turkish Delight go bad? That doesn't sound at all like the sort I've eaten, which, while not ambrosia of the gods, was still quite good.

Does anyone overemote, "I'm going to be Queen! Queen of France!"?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I felt that way about Turkish Delight until I had some that was brought home by a friend from Turkey. Totally different vibe, just wonderful.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Wikipedia says, "...with the exception of the sugar, cornstarch, water, cream of tartar, and cooking technique, this recipe may be greatly altered according to taste and/or occasion." So, YTDMV.
Anyone know if anyone makes or distributes it stateside? Wondering how easy it would be to find, just to satisfy nearly two decades of curiousity as to what it's really like.

Many Mediterranean food stores or Middle Eastern food stores carry Turkish Delight.
I find it to be incredibly sweet (and I have a wicked sweet tooth)jellular NAST.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
The most succinct description of Turkish Delight I've ever met is further down that article:
Joanna surmised that, though now it tastes "like deep-frozen grandmother's perfume,"
Dipped in chocolate.

Very strange use of New Order music.
