Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape

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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Apparently it was a long string of shoot-em-ups, with Army of Darkness being the last straw that resulted in a declaration of war.

Hey, I enjoyed it, but I do sympathize that the combo of cheesy dialogue, over-the-top violence and gore, and—most importantly—a lengthy fight involving Three Stooges moves might be painful for a devotee of chick flicks.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through Living til the End and am delighted that it's turned the soon-to-die-free-spirit-teaches-the-uptight-guy-how-to-live-and-love trope on its head by having the uptight guy's OCD and agoraphobia actually deep-six the impulsive last minute trip to Paris. As a bonus, Sean Maher has somehow managed to convince me that his character is heterosexual.

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

You could have just said Sentence, Ailleann.

Matt, finished LttE yet?

I forget, does the DVD contain the original ending?

Never mind, I am an idiot.

It only has the one, so I assume not. Jack realizes Audrey is suicidal, climbs the ledge to get to her apartment and stop her, and is either shot by her gun when he startles her or is impaled on broken glass when he falls through the window...that final scene is shot really unclearly .

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

It's Buffista Movies callback time! (a.k.a., I just got around to Banlieue 13, which is so totally last week.)

Lame plot, dumb plot, stupid plot, did I mention idiotic plot? And yet? I found my next yuletide pairing. PLUS, best ever movie to watch in Blu-ray. Because the others we've tried were things where I actually wanted to follow the story and kept getting distracted by the shiny blinky visuals. This? All shiny blinky visuals. And topless fighty men.

What?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Huh. So the Blu-ray version had a plot? Weird...

It was very small. It must've been in the extra pixels only.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And yet? I found my next yuletide pairing.

Yay! It's totally true. The little bit of heterosexuality they tried to throw in at the end did not fit.
