'Objects In Space'


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.

Also, the places that have survived tend to stock more independent and foreign films

Yes. Our favorite little video store stocks lots of classic, independant, and foreign films, as well as tons of docs, short films, and TV season collections (of which the largest selection is BBC series). They also continue to stock video tape, which many Blockbuster have stopped doing altogether, which means they also have lots of the classics/foreigns/independants that haven't made it to DVD yet.

the kind of stuff Blockbuster never bothered with in the first place.

As if that wasn't bad enough, they now almost exclusively stock new releases in the Blockbusters I've been in lately. There have been mainstream Hollywood releases that they don't stock on the shelves any more because it's too old.

If I only had a brain...

We kept joking about Sandanistas and covert Iranian arms deals.

I once attended a Contra the Contras Contra which raised money for the elected government.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hey, look what I found on the 5 minutes to Live site, Sole Survivor.

CBS’ first made-for-TV movie, Sole Survivor is a fantasy yarn founded on fact. In 1960, the ruins of an American bomber were found in the Libyan desert...but the remains of the crew were never located. In Guerdon Trueblood’s teleplay, the ghosts of a bomber crew hang around their derelict plane, awaiting the day that their bones will be recovered and given a decent burial. The sole survivor, navigator Russell Hamner (Richard Basehart), has in the intervening 25 years become a general. He joins an investigation team that has come across the wreckage, while the ghosts, headed by Major Devlin (Vince Edwards), plot to expose Hamner as a coward who deserted his post and left his crew mates to die.

I saw this movie when it first aired.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Since then, the remains of most of the crew have been found.

I love this. Have you ever noticed how the other side just never seem that clever?

Sometime in the last few years, some more crewmembers were found....
