I love Go too! It's one of my favorite movies.
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
GF and I got dragged to see it in the theater, thinking it was just a fluffy teen movie. We were very pleasantly surprised. We both loved it (we have it on DVD and still watch it on occasion). As we live in the Valley (818 area code), a fave line of ours is, "Don't go 818 on me, Claire!"

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Olyphant was also great in Go.
He wasn't doing the righteous part, but he was working that same freak-eyed intensity he used for Bullock, except with a Santa hat instead of a mustache.
I love that movie as well. Just so wonderfully random.

Dave White on Live Free Or Die Hard:
What I love most about this, and movies that steal from it, is that plausibility is dispensed with early on, and there's never such thing as Too Much when it comes to piling on the threat or destroying property. It's like, "Oh, I'm dangling over a pit of molten metal? And you're shooting at me with a machine gun while I dangle? Well, check this out: I just happen to be dangling in the exact spot where the secret lever that releases liquid nitrogen lives! Now it is you who are doomed!" That's what I came to see, and that's what I got, and now I'm happy. (No, that example isn't actually in the movie.)

Darn.

I enjoy imagining Bruce Willis saying, "Now it is you who are doomed!"

I think Dave White and I would get along.

Tantra, baby.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Also, Olyphant is the sports guy on Indie 103.1, the local fringe-ish radio station which is home to such way cool shows as Jonesy's Jukebox, a free form daily romp with Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols which kicks ass. Did I mention that David Lynch is the weatherman for the station? You gotta love that.

You don't need a backwards-talking midget to know which way the wind blows.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Indie 103.1 has sports? And weather??? I knew the Suicide Girls had their own show.
