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.

Fight Club was like American Beauty for me...except worse, because Ed Norton gives me hives.

More Ed Norton for me! I adore him. Though I didn't particularly like Fight Club. It's been a while, but I remember being kind of underwhelmed, though I thought parts of it were cool.

God, those were some pecs.

Good lord! I just looked at the picture you linked to above, and I'd forgotten how huge his man-boobs er, pecs are in that movie. Not a look that inspires me to lust.

I think I only ever really found Brad Pitt attractive in Thelma and Louise and A River Runs Through It. Everything from Legends of the Fall onwards has given me the impression that he is actually kind of funny-looking.

Yes, Eric Bana = teh HOTT. Might be the only reason I see Munich of my own accord.

Speaking of Troy... I remember rumblings on here somewhere about how the script was so much better than the movie ended up being... could anyone Nilly up the link for me? (I'd search myself, but I'm not sure that anyone ever put it up, because I would have clicked on it like woah.)

My favorite Brad is tattooedSnath!Brad. Talk about ironic.

My least favorite? Overwhelminghair!Brad in Legends of the Fall(ing down laughing...at least for the audience.)

I saw Legends with a British friend who, upon emerging from the theatre exclaimed, "Oh my. I'm GoneWithTheWinded." Classic.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I thought Keanu did a good job portraying some character that coincidentally shared the same name and smoking habits as the John Constantine from the comics. As long as I didn't let myself look at it as an adaptation, it was entertaining.

I am with Matt in this. I actually found myself idly wanting to watch Constantine again recently. I may have to start looking for a super-cheap used copy.

Fight Club is one of the favorite movies at House o' Reason. But I don't find Brad Pitt sexy. Amusing and decorative, yes, but that's about it.

"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

Pitt was borderline hot in Thelma and Louise and, I'll confess, in Interview with the Vampire what with the long dark hair and enough pancake makeup to hide his horrible, horrible skin. In other movies, not so much.

Regardless of how they clean him up I'll never be able to find him attractive again after that viewing of Twelve Monkeys that I've talked about previously.

Now that's crazytalk. He looked like a crack-addicted chipmunk in that movie.

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