Buffistas

Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

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.

Saw TLtWatW tonight and enjoyed it. It didn't blow me away the way LotR did, but it was a satisfactory adaptation of the book, IMO, though I haven't read the book in probably close to twenty years, so who knows how much I've forgotten. The big battle scene was sufficiently cool (loved the griffon bombers and I thought the lead centaur dude rocked mightly) though I was disapointed that the duel between Peter and the White Witch went movie-fu, particularly the Neo backbend dodge away from the lame scissor attack. Especially since they'd just done something similar with the White Witch barely dodging the lead centaur's attack that actually looked cool a minute earlier.

Didn't realize there was a little scene in the middle of the credits though. My friends and I were just about to walk out when we noticed it.

move out and draw fire

Apart from her ER gig? I think this is her second year.

Cool! See, I have no TV, and thus I know nothing about who is on TV. Yay for her!

I should see the Narnia movie tonight -- thanks for the warning about a final scene in the credits.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Always stay through the credits. It doesn't always pay off, but when it does, you are the cool kids.

I just saw Aeon Flux today. I'm so behind in movies. I decided to see it partly because I would have had to wait another half an hour to see Harry Potter, and I figured this one could leave any day. I was the only person in the theatre.

I liked it okay, but would have prefered something a little more twisted like the animated version. Now I think I need to get the tv one on DVD.

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

We saw Brokeback Mountain this afternoon. Very Good movie, beautifully shot and mostly well acted.

I think it broke JZ.

Nothing better than seeing a gay cowboy movie with a bunch of buffistas.

The movie was beautiful.

"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

Nothing better than seeing a gay cowboy movie with a bunch of buffistas.

How about if the gay cowboy movie had Christian Kane as one of the cowboys?

My copy of Century Hotel arrived today, so I will get to see David Hewlett of SGA fame acting out a story not unlike Brokeback Mountain. Should be fun.

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

I saw Kong and LOVED it. Love love love love love.

Dear Mr. Jackson,

Thanks for making my mom go "oh wow" when she saw your big ape on screen. Also for making me get weepy over a CG character. Shame about the freaky-ass giant bugs though.

Ta ever so,
Me

I've seen half of Elektra (someone gave me a pirated DVD that I haven't gotten around to completing), but otherwise I'm free of this list.
