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.

Raq, it's not unheard of for adult men, who've been widowed and had children, to chose to go into the church. Unusual, but allowable if they convince authorities that their vocation is real and sincere.

(There are also a small number of former Anglican married priests who were allowed to convert and keep officiating.)

It could also be the case that Grandpa Malone left the priesthood and then got married, had kids, et cetera.

I knew a girl in high school who was the daughter of a Catholic priest. I was never sure how that worked out, but I'm pretty sure they were never Anglican, since her name was Benedicta.

I saw The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Kind Hearts And Coronets over the holidays, both of which I liked for completely different reasons. I'm big with the Apatow & Seth Rogan love in the former, and the latter is great just to watch Alec Guinness (and don't get me wrong here, I love the guy) get killed over and over again.

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

Corwood, in your love for both those films, you and I are as one.

A number of the great takes caught on film have a story behind them.

There are, of course, the numerous takes during LotR in which Viggo was injured. All of which seemed to be the takes that PJ liked best, and made it in to the final cut.

And there's also Harrison Ford slamming Sean Young up against the window so hard that those are real tears of pain she's crying in Blade Runner.

Breaking his toe in The Two Towers probably elicited the most realistic howl of rage/pain from him, when he kicked the orc helmet. I liked that one.

And I'm pretty sure the take that busted his tooth was the one that wound up in the film, too.

Words I always love to read, because I know I'm on the right track (certain iconic Westerns excepted, of course).
