Sean is me, re: The Covenant. "Cool" was the furthest thing from my mind when I saw the trailer.
I'd love to see some urban fantasy done right on the big screen, but so far it's been limited to the small screen and mixed with horror.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

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.

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.

I mean, there is no point or reason to having a car hit a semi head on, explode into flames, and then reassemble on the other side of the semi, other than doing it for its own sake....Why would anyone want to see a movie like that?
I thought it looked cool! Sometimes I have shallow tastes.

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Have you seen The Silver Surfer's package?

Well...it makes sense in a way. What, Galactus is going to permabond swim trunks to him while coating him in silvery metal?

I saw The Good Shepherd today with a couple of friends. It took a 15 minute confab afterwards to figure out just how the plotlines intersected. At the end we all agreed that we wanted Angelina Jolie's character's wardrobe.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
just finished Brick. the dialogue tried way too hard to be noir, but it was an okay movie. JGL has really come a long way.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I am so perverse in my movie tastes that immediately upon reading P-C's posts, I bolted to our DVD shelf and started watching Raising Arizona for the umpteenth time. At first I tried to remember particular lines to quote back at P-C to say, "See? How can you not love this? How can you not see how utterly fucking hilarious this is?", but then I realized that I would just end up quoting the entire damn movie line for line, so I gave up on conversion and just wallowed in it.
I would advise going back again in a year or so. Like many Coen Brothers movies, it gets richer with each rewatch.
Also, Hec informs me that I now *am* Holly Hunter as Ed, with the sudden crumply face and the gushes of tears and the howling "I just love her so mu-u-uch!" I don't think the baby-having is Ed's only purpose in life, but if it's something you want it can be (a) devastating to not be able to do it, and (b) ridiculously overwhelming when you do, whether naturally or via quint-kidnapping out the upstairs bedroom window.

I did discover this with The Big Lebowski. The first time, I just didn't get it, and I fell asleep. (I also fell asleep during Raising Arizona, but I don't really blame the movie because I've just been doing that for weeks.) When I saw it again, though, I found it really funny.
Leonard Smalls felt like he came out of a different movie, which was very amusing. I think he should go around making appearances in all other movies.

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm still pissed at them for making Tempe a cowtown instead of where I went to college.
