'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

From Buffista Movies:

erikaj:

Hint: The trailer is supposed to make people WANT to go to the movie.

Calli:

Maybe that's the official purpose. I've found a lot of them to be effective early warning systems, m'self.

Theodosia:

Could we nominate the trailer for The Core for some sort of special Early Warning award?

Matt the Bruins fan:

Yeah, it warned me that the Roman Coliseum was apparently constructed out of highly volatile plastique. Who knew?

Calli:

Those Romans. So technologically innovative. First concrete, now this.

Leigh:

Damnit, Matt. I'd convinced myself I hadn't seen this trailer, but you've gone and twigged my repressed memories. It's odd how the destruction of the entire world always seems to lead to boring movies.

Katie M:

I meant to go see that movie drunk with some geologist friends of mine, but then we didn't. Hmm. We'll have to work something out when it comes out on video.

Matt the Bruins fan:

Oh, I was laughing at that scene so hard. I mean, I get that it was supposed to be the big scary superstorm with far greater intensity than normally seen, but they could have at least halfway suspended my disbelief by having the exploding building be something that was flammable, or at least not solid stone set into a hillside.

Of course, if the interior of the earth can stop rotating for months without any tectonic consequences, who knows what other things could happen. I guess I should be glad the big rescue scheme didn't involve flying pigs.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Happy Phantom, In Firefly:

It's all so good, I'm falling more in love by the second, and I keep freaking out that there's only 6 more episodes, and that I don't want it to end. I want to see these people's stories unfold, I want to be shocked and surprised by them, and I'd really rather like to see most of them end up happily-ever-after. I just have to keep muttering "At least there's a movie, at least there's a movie" over and over!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

askye in Bitchy Fic:

There's no schmoop in fear!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And the award for movie crit, short form, goes to Allyson in Natter:

I rented The Hours, and only lasted minutes.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Allyson, in Natter, just being Allyson:

Hey, did I tell you guys I almost tied my cat to a tree outside a shelter with a twenty dollar bill taped to her ass and a bag of kibble?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

ChiCat: Wacky gothmothers are necessary. As are kinky grandmothers and aunts who like renting children.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Holli in Literary:

You know, the older I get, the more I find that "geek=pyromaniac" is something that holds true everywhere.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

amych beat me to it! I was just coming to COMM Holli.

Leigh - Jun 23, 2003 8:14:40 pm PDT #3749 of 10000

Nobody

Ah heck, I'm COMMing the lot.

Katie M: It took me literally years before I figured out that English kids didn't just have a strange penchant for exploring dark places with flaming pieces of wood. Finding out that "torch" is English for "flashlight" was one of the great revelatory experiences of my childhood.

Amych: I dunno -- I found it kind of disappointing, but that may just be because I spent all those years fantasizing about being allowed to play with open flames myself.

Holli: You know, the older I get, the more I find that "geek=pyromaniac" is something that holds true everywhere.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Leigh, in Natter, on movies made in the 1960s:

Lord, I'm feeling young. Like a zygote. Only with typing skills.
