You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell  

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just saw An Inconvenient Truth (Al Gore's documentary about the environment), and I am so incredibly depressed.

It's an excellent movie -- basically just a concert film of one of his lectures, which some random biographical stuff thrown in to break up the pacing -- but...we're not going to have a planet in 50 years. And I don't think we're far enough along in our space program to do without one.

So yeah. Everyone should see this.

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

Will nuking Iran speed things up?

Anyway, yeah, I really want to see AIT....

I'll be dead in 50 years. That's mighty convenient.

The only film on that list I've seen is The Shining, but I had already seen the Simpsons parody so the scary was pretty much ruined.

I scariest one for me was probably Aliens. I don't know if scary is right word though, more like intense. I have to see more movies.

Always Anti-fascist!

I don't know... they make* me* think 'how low can they go?' pretty frequently. I think it fits.

Hey. New board.

Yeah, Alien (the horror movie, not the action movie sequel) scared the living crap out of me. Possibly the best slasher ever made - slasher meets sci-fi! (though I do love Halloween - actually, I love the entire slasher genre).

Alien would be scarier, but I saw Aliens first so it wasn't new. Can't put the Alien back in the belly so to speak.

Yes, but did you know that the science guy in Alien was an evil android?

I read the novelization of Alien as a kid....
