'The Killer In Me'


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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I do know that spanner = wrench.

That took me a long time to figure out because my first introduction to the word came from Red Dwarf. I just assumed it was some kind of futuristic tool.

(Edited to remove unnecessarily redundant redundancy.)

ETA: On further reflection, I think I read the word in HHGttG first, made said assumption and then was amused when Red Dwarf had a tool called the same thing. Me=dense.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh, are crumpets the same thing as English muffins?

English muffins are sort of a pale imitation of a proper crumpet.

Crumpets don't really get as crisp as English Muffins. And they're riddled with little air pockety holes which absorbs scads of butter and jam.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Crumpets don't really get as crisp as English Muffins. And they're riddled with little air pockety holes which absorbs scads of butter and jam.

So texture-wise, are they about halfway between an English Muffin and a scone, or are scones a whole different texture completely?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Crumpets have their own texture - I'm not sure what to compare them to.

Scones are a different beast. Much denser.

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

Angel star David Boreanaz will play a ghost writer—or, rather, a writer who's a ghost—opposite Alan Cumming in Suffering Man's Charity, an independent dark comedy that Cumming will also direct, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Boreanaz, who currently stars in Fox's Bones, will play a struggling writer who is accidentally killed by Cumming one evening. Cumming discovers the writer's novel and ends up taking credit for penning it. When it becomes a success, the writer comes back to haunt him.

Suffering Man's Charity also stars Anne Heche, Henry Thomas and Carrie Fisher. Also in the cast are Karen Black and Jane Lynch.

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

Not having read the script, I'd say they've got the casting backwards.

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

That is a lot o' hottie and such a range too. If Alan Cumming and David Boreanaz end up doing that Whoopie/Swayze mergy thing I may spontaneously boreanaz.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm still not entirely sure what a chiffarobe

A chifferobe is half wardrobe, half bureau (or chest of drawers). Here's one:

NO LIE! I am thrilled at this prospect.
