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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Just got back from a screening of Tristan +Isolde

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.

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

NO anachronisms, unless you count the reading of a John Donne poem, which wasn't, of course WRITTEN YET. @@

If I only had a brain...

Nothing will ever top the use of the Mozart Requiem to close out Elizabeth. Well, something no doubt will, and then I'll complain about it.

So the "love potion" wasn't Rohipnol?

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

No love for the Cook/Moore/Donen BEDAZZLED? Oh the (in)humanity.

You fill me with intertia.

That was my first thought as well!

It's kind of a boring list, considering they could have included things like The Last Temptation of Christ. Or The Devil in Miss Jones. Gosh, that would be an excellent double feature.

No, the exploding-head double feature would be Scanners and JFK.

Ha! (But no love for Raiders of the Lost Ark?)
