The Gir patch I've stuck to my monitor, it speaks to me.
"Why, my piggy? I loveded you, piggy! I loveded you-hoo-hooo!"
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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.

"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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
HPGoF the movie, abridged:
Since I just saw GoF 2 days ago, this had me snorting with laughter.
SIRIUS: Goodness gracious, great face of fire! Watch out for Barty Crouch - he put his dark, intense, leather-clad son in prison. You cannot trust a man like that.
RON: Oh now Harry Potter is too good even to COME TO BED.
HARRY: Baby, don't be that way!
NEVILLE: Hi, Harry. I just got in - and since the books establish that Ginny Weasley got it on with Michael Corner at the Yule Ball, one can only assume this is because I was having sex with the band.
HARRY: Why do I have only my recurring dreams of dark, intense, leather-clad men when you get to have sex with the band?
NEVILLE: I have dancin' feet.
HARRY: OMG Snape and Karkaroff in the closet together? This is worse than Hagrid and Madame Maxime.
SNAPE: Come into the closet, little boy.
HARRY: When does the scar tissue over my memories form? When?
VOLDEMORT: Now it's time for some blood play!
DUMBLEDORE: He's been keeping the real Moody locked up in a box and - Good Lord, that's a little bit kinky.
CROUCH JNR: Eeeeverything I do is a little bit kinky. Has anyone noticed I'm dark, intense, leather-clad and now restrained to a chair?
SNAPE: ... I did, actually.
HARRY: These films have gone totally hardcore.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Love the abridged GoF!
MIKE NEWELL: Okay Daniel Radcliffe, now, we all know about the dreaded 'He was their friend!' fiasco of Prisoner of Azkaban. We all know about the time Chris Columbus suggested you employ more than four facial expressions during a film and reduced you to a state of near-terminal confusion. But here's an idea. Throw yourself on the body of an attractive young thing and look utterly distraught!
HARRY: Nooooo! Why?
MIKE NEWELL: By Jove, I think he's got it!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
More...
DUMBLEDORE: And now the brave sons of Middle Ear... er, Durmstrang.
BRAVE SONS: We have GREAT BIG ENORMOUS sticks we're going to PLAY WITH.
MIKE NEWELL: Watched the Cuaron film. Watched and learned.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Bwahahaha!
Ohta: Unfortunately, Kong has destroyed a good deal of the kitchen stadium subduing his sandowrm. He and Godzilla have both stoped cooking and are battling each other.

And something neither one, living on an Island, would ever see.
Well...unless you count the swamp worms, which looked EXACTLY LIKE THEM.]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The worst films of 2005 you should totally see anyway >[link]

I question the sanity of anyone who has seen more than one Uwe Boll movie.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ouch.
“Memoirs of A Geisha” — Costumes? Check. Beautiful sets? Check. Actors with countless hours of dialect coaching under their kimonos? Check. Okay, let’s get that “Showgirls” script and we’ll change the dates, location and race of the women. Now, where’s our Academy Award nomination? Why you should see it anyway: Because you never knew that a P.F. Chang’s vision of “Oriental” would make this kind of cultural comeback. And when “Showgirls” made its bow in the mid 1990s, no one could have predicted it would become the cult phenomenon it is today. Seeing this now will guarantee you a spot on that future-camp bandwagon.

Heheheheheh:
I know the scene where Racism pushes Sandra Bullock down a flight of stairs deserves some kind of award.
