Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

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.

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.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Crumpets and english muffins are quite different.

Crumpets are made from a batter and cooked on a griddle, like pancakes (but in ring-molds) and are (at least sometimes) baking-powder raised.

English muffins are yeast-raised and baked in an oven. You over-knead the dough to get the big holes.

Both are best toasted with lots of butter. And now I want some of both.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

A chifferobe is half wardrobe, half bureau (or chest of drawers).

To add some more regional spice to word-choices, my stepmother from Maine used to call a bureau a "chesterdraw" -- "chest of drawers" as said downeast.

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

When I was young, we had a bureau-like thing called a buffett.

Art Crawl!!!

But that's more of a sideboard type item -- because we did too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

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

This was my first thought too, Jess.

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

We rented The Door in the Floor last night. I wan't expecting much and was very impressed. Really good, and the acting was stellar. Jeff Bridges is a freaking genius. (He's also naked in this a lot and looks pretty darn good). I recommend it for those of you of a mind to watch a smart, funny/sad, intelligent movie.

The big Evanston theater is showing Kong tonight at 11:59, 12:10 and 12:20.

If I went, I'd be able to sleep for almost two hours before getting up to go to work. Or about four hours if I just went back to work to sleep.

I think you should go with this plan, tommyrot.
