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.

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

You need asterisks by Bloodrayne and The Ring 2. If Bloodrayne counts, then you're missing Blade(s) and Underworld(s).

Thanks!

I guess you can tell which kind of films I'm more likely to go to. If only the French made more horror movies....

Blade? Underworld (which I haven't seen but seems vaguely appropriate)?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

How far back are you going? Are these only zombie flicks? There's a great Italian zombie horror-comedy movie from the 80s that I can't think of right now, but it'll come to me in a minute.

A list of zombie films, and no Shaun of the Dead?

Oh, that reminded me -- there was a WBesque vampire movie with the Behr kid (or the Fehr kid)...dammit! Forsaken! And John Carpented did a vampire movie too.

THE FUCKING CROW. Sorry -- I can't believe I forgot my favourite dead guy. Series of movies, plus TV show.

Freakylinks dealt with ghosty stuff, as did The Others (yeah, repetitive).

And The Prophecy 3. Did we know it had gotten to 3?

I Netflixed The Prophecy today (in a moment of "oh yeah, I was gonna add that one too!"), and in fact it goes to The Prophecy 5: Forsaken, though Walken does not seem to be in it.

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

and in fact it goes to The Prophecy 5: Forsaken

I don't really understand the economics of filmmaking, but I have to say that if The Prophecy can get to 5, then it seems at least possible that Serenity could get to 2.

By Serenity 5 though, it would probably just be down to Mal and Badger sitting in a bathtub together cursing each other in Mandarin.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Huh. Did we know Christopher Walken has overtaken Michael Caine as the man least likely to turn down a movie role?

OMG, this is my new goal in LIFE. Resolution: to become so singular that no movie role, no matter how debased, will affect the offering to me of any other role. How freaking awesome is that? I could name my fifth boat after The Country Bears.
