Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Basically, I need something where the emotional truth is wrapped in a fairly stylised package, and it will sing for me.

Wow. This describes my preferences as well in a way I'd never thought about before.

I've always felt guilty for having little interest in F&G. I'd probably skip it in favor of Mr. & Mrs. Smith or Alias or La Femme Nikita DVDs. Perhaps Apatow just needs more underdressed spies.

David's observation on s6 is also food for thought.

I suspect that F&G was more painfully realistic due to Paul Feig's influence and the more goofy-contrived parts were closer to Apatow's aesthetic. Maybe it's not as neat as that in all cases, but it seems to be a general difference in their post-F&G work.

That said, I don't know which sick genius is responsible for Jason Segal's disco dance moves in the final episode.

Bon bon, (former Buffista) Julie Beth was saying that she wanted to take up roller derby a few years ago, but I discouraged her. I don't know about what you look like, but those girls are just physically huge. Julie Beth is about 5'2" and weighs maybe 100 lbs soaking wet. My lovely wife, who is 5'8" and athletic, would get her ass kicked, no problem, by those roller girls.

Well, I'm not wee, but fair point. I get the sense the new york league is a lot less competitive than the texas leagues, though.

Completely me. I remember thinking, as I watched F&G...I went to school with these people...omg, that chick is me...um, painful then, painful now...NEXT!

I've only seen one, ever. And there was a keg in it and that's all I remember.

Yeah, that episode was awesome. Jesus is just alright with me, after all.

That's when I really fell for Millie.

She had me at "I'm going to stay sober and have more fun than anybody here."

I should probably get that, but I'm trying to cut back on the Netflix, you know. You guys are not helping.
