Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Thinking about it, the Alien series should get some kind of "franchise with consistently awesome character actors" award.

I wrote a whole piece once about how Alien could almost stand by itself as a hall of fame of seventies character actors. It just needed Warren Oates and Strother Martin and E. Emmett Kelly.

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

M. Emmett Walsh, you mean? Ol' M'emmet? Deckerd's boss in Blade Runner M'emmett?

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. The article that said she'd be a Vulcan, non-Amanda Spock mommy claimed Variety as the source of that info. (ita's link is to Variety.)

I think they updated the article, but I didn't see a note about a correction.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

AICN said something about Variety getting it wrong

I'm currently watching Dracula 3000 starring Casper Van Dien and Coolio.

I just thought I'd mention that, in case I'm never heard from again. So you'll know what got me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

M. Emmett Walsh, you mean?

Oops. Yes. Emmett Kelly being the clown. M. Emmett Kelly being a clown that specializes in character roles in 70s and 80s movies.
