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.

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

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Idle Hands is fucking funny.
It was a total "Dude, Where's My Car?" moment for me -- I fully expected to find it shamefully, painfully, watch-from-the-hall BAD. And then I found myself laughing my ASS off.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Putrified noses and brains that get bitten,
Stumbling cadavers with them I am smitten,
Rotting appendages tied up in strings,
Zombies are one of my favorite things!

I certainly have to at least mention G Vs. E if only because it recalls the panel's title.
I'd forgotten about Ghost Whisperer and Medium! Unfortunately, I've not watched either one.

"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
There was a recent-ish remake of Dawn of the Dead, as well as Romero's Land of the Dead (4th in his series of Dead movies).
Resident Evil 2
The Ring
The Ring 2
The Grudge
(and also the American release of Ju-on: the Grudge, the Japanese film it was a remake of...)
Dark Water
Freddy vs. Jason
(hey, a ghost and a zombie!)
On the TV front, there was that UPN show Haunted a couple of years ago, and Brimstone a good bit before that.

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

Just got back from a screening of Tristan +Isolde, which BF is reviewing. It was baaaaad. It was attractive people with paper-thin characters suffering while being lovingly photographed. I told BF it was the OC in Leather tunics. However, if I was 13 years old, I think I would love this movie--due to the many male model types brooding and striding about, and the tragic love, which is expressed not through craxy passionate sex, but through slow motion kissing in close-up with backlighting.

Can anyone think of recent genre movies that featured zombies, ghosts and just about any characters who are kinda sorta life-challenged?
I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but Peter Jackson's THE FRIGHTENERS definitely goes into the good dead vs. the evil dead.
Actually, Jackson's DEAD/ALIVE, although not so much with the good dead, makes up with double-extra zombie & mom issues.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, way to harsh on The OC.

Ha! Complete with plus sign, like that other Romeo & Juliet. Are there any drag queen sidekicks and gunplay?? Anybody dance around the room to Freddie Mercury? I would think up an example of funny anachronism from that Richard Gere Lancelot movie, but I can't think of a single funny thing about it.
