Cashmere -- agreed! The last scene totally makes that movie.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I really really loved the teenage son. But then I loved all of the characters in all their eccentricity. I like that the movie has a happy ending, despite the fact that all of their troubles have ended up worse than when they began the plot. Puts a lot into perspective for me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm not sure this will be quite as funny if you haven't seen it, but some wonderful person has compiled all of Nick Cage's very best work from the remake of The Wicker Man, including one absolute gem that must have been on the deleted scenes reel. Go. Watch. Laugh.
Step AWAY....from the BIKE...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I can't imagine how funny it is if you have seen it. That is HYSTERICAL.

Because books.
Seriously?! "My eyes! My eyes!!!"
SERIOUSLY?!
Oh man, that could be a watch-and-drink at some point.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Okay, I didn't see the movie because I don't like horror movies, but wow, that's just hilariously bad. I mean, the bee thing bothered me because t shudder having bees poured on you is just augh, but the over-acting made that scene more WTF than anything else.

Oh my.
I think if he'd been in the bear suit the whole time, it would be the greatest movie ever made.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Ever since Vampire's Kiss I've had a lot of respect for Nicolas Cage & his method acting. The script called for him to eat a cockroach and he insisted on doing it for real; even though he puked on the first take he did it again!
Of course it does feel kinda weird writing about my respect for Nicolas Cage while I can hear the trailer for Ghost Rider playing in the lobby.

What is even happening?
Oh my word. The whole reason I bought and watched the original version of The Wicker Man, was as a result of a series of conversations I with a good online friend of mine. She's a serious devotee and when she first found out Nic Cage was remaking it, there may have been talk of international intrigue and possible sabotage. Fortunately, she lives lives in the U.K., and isn't rich, so it was just talk. Clearly, her fears were on the money, though.
Why is he beating up all the girls? What's with the bees?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
