I am watching 10 things I hate about you. Why did I forget how much I love this movie? I think I need to own it, like now.
Buffy: How bored were you last year? Giles: I watched 'Passions' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.
'Beneath You'
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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Compassionately intolerant
I think I've seen 10 Things a multiple of 3 times 10. Love.
JZ, I KNOW huh?!
You really must read Under the Black Flag as soon as is possible given baby wrangling. Not only is it packed, packed, PACKED with stuff I didn't know, but the writing style is truly enjoyable.
Squee away my little squeeterpea. I hope you have a blast when you get a chance to see the movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Laga, do a search in the thread for 'fuzz'. She's the first person to mention seeing it, or maybe it was SA. To step out of line and synopsise, she liked it a bunch, and wondered if "Forget it, Nick, it's Sandford" was an obscure reference. I am wondering if the plentiful Bad Boys shot stealing was obvious, and what other movies (well, the Point Break was clearly telegraphed) I missed.
eta: Oh, and I couldn't half kill a Cornetto right now!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Oh yes I too was in a theatre full of people who did not laugh at that particular reference. Luckily I had finally seen Chinatown just this year so I was the only one laughing. Oh wait- I think the first audience I saw it with did get the reference. Or maybe that was just ND and Kristin laughing along with me.
I also recognized tributes to The Matrix and a few other films whose titles escape me now.

What was the Matrix bit?

There were at least a couple but right now I can only recall at the end when they're fighting in the "rain" and Nick grabs Skinner's fist.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't know if I mentioned it in-thread at the time, but I also wondered if the name Angel was a reference to the vampire. (Only because I know Wright & Co are BtVS fans.)

One of the music guys was called Nick Angel, Jess, so I think it was after him. Cool as hell name.
