You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I love Fight Club. It's one of our favorites but it is definitely not everyone's cup of tea.

Your tag here.

I can't get into Fight Club. I've tried a couple times, but it really rubs me the wrong way.

Brad's nekkid from the hip bone up (and quite ripped)... does that help?

Always Anti-fascist!

Never really got the love...except for the robbing drifter in "Thelma and Louise". That was hot.

You know what I found hot? The fuzzy pink bathrobe. Mmmm...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Brad is totally hot in Mr & Mrs Smith, I found, as well as in the two Oceans. Much of the rest of the time onscreen I've thought he was pretty, but that's nowhere near as urgent a feeling.

Fight Club, however, was the first time Helena Bonham Carter didn't drive me batshit.

Art Crawl!!!

Sky High is fun and fluffy. So, if you're in the mood for that -- I recommend it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Fight Club is one of my favorite movies.

Sky High was a lot of fun, I thought. And Constantine somehow managed to make me like it in spite of the massive suckage of almost every element.

Heh. I just can't put my finger on why, but that's pretty much it for me, too.

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'm going to try, if only because the next-gen DVD players are reeeeally expensive. I predict that whichever one can get cheapest fastest will dominate the market in the end.

I agree. Though I also think Blu-Ray might have an advantage in that's the technology the Playstation 3 is going to use and I believe they're retaining the PS2's DVD-playing ability. The PS3 may be how a next-gen DVD player gets into my house. (Much as the PS2 was also my first DVD player.)

This is me. A friend my loaned me the DVD once, I popped it in, watched for maybe 10 minutes and turned it off.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

God, Fight Club is fucking *brilliant.*
