A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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.

I apologize to anyone who ends up in bankruptcy court due to my link.

Right, everybody send Corwood their bills for bankruptcy court.

I'd just have to add it all to my own bankruptcy settlement.

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

Best audience in my recent moviegoing history--An Ingmar Bergman double feature at the LA Museum. Full house and Not. A. Peep. It was heavenly.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

there were 3 old ladies sitting behind us who talked throughout the entire movie (The Family Stone).

Old ladies are the worst!

I hate seeing movies with my best friend, and in fact try to avoid it, because she's the type of movie viewer who will ask the person sitting next to her (aka, ME) after every plot-twisty confusing event, "Why did he do that? Does she know him? They don't have a dog, do they?", even though I'm seeing the movie for the first time, too, same as her.

Pointing out that this is annoying as fuck, and why, only leads to hurt feelings, of the "Well, *you're* smarter than I am, so I thought *you* might have picked up on something that I didn't!" variety.

Which, you know, is bullshit, but it still leads me to all sorts of contrivances to not go to a movie alone with her. If there are other people, I can just be sure to not sit right next to her.

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

My brother used to do this when he was a kid, but I managed to beat it out of him.

(Kidding!)

(Mostly!)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Kids doing that are in a different class than adults.

My brother did that, too. I wasn't allowed to beat him until this year.

I have a former friend who's an inapproriate laugher, and would say things like "Oh my god!" right out loud. She would always get pissy when I shushed her. (Which I always did.) It got the point (before we stopped talking entirely) where I thought long and hard about any movie invitations and how bad she would behave in the theatre. It didn't help that I thought she was just trying to draw attention to herself.

Right, everybody send Corwood their bills for bankruptcy court.

Why don't we just bill him for the movies?

At least children still have the excuse of their minds and worldviews being in a state of development. Also, being obviously children, I can spot them in advance and sit far, far away.
