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.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I went into the movie expecting camp, got camp. Not great camp, but serviceable camp.

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 disliked both Underworld and Van Helsing. But at least I got the chance to mock the latter with Buffistas.
Different subject, my friends and I were discussing actors who never (or at least extremely rarely) die in movies and hit upon the fact that Liam Neeson "always" dies. We thought back through the movies we'd seen him in and the only one we immediately came up with where he lived was Rob Roy. I'm sure people here can rattle off plenty of others, though.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Breakfast on Pluto, Darkman, Kinsey.
(And probably not Batman, if the franchise lasts long enough to bring him back.)
And in Narnia he came back, so it doesn't really count.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
The Woody Allen movie -- Husbands and Wives, I think?
And he was in the Steve Martin movie where Steve Martin was a charlatan preacher -- Leap of Faith, maybe?
He didn't die in either of those.

"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
He didn't die in Nell, did he? And I haven't seen Gun Shy, but since it's a romantic comedy I doubt anyone offs him at the end.

Looks like Sean Bean is a good guy less than Liam Neeson survives.
Oh, and I liked 40 Year Old Virgin, though it was a little too human with the pain sometimes--unlike Wedding Crashers which allowed you to maintain a polite distance, all the better for howling with laughter.

I loved 40 Year-Old Virgin. I hurt myself laughing several places, and I thought it earned its sweet sad moments well. (Much like Apatow's other work -- I'm watching Undeclared on DVD, and I'd forgotten how good it was. Like Freaks and Geeks, only with less this-is-my-first-real-show self-consciousness.)
