Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

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

8/9 for me. Because Forrest Gump doesn't exist.

I'm also an 8, for Amych's reason.

Kathy A. should get her butt in gear and watch Lebowski and Iron Giant.

If only that were true (that was to amych's comment, not David's about Kathy).

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

6 out of 10. I missed Iron Giant, The Big Lebowski, The Godfather and Forrest Gump

Art Crawl!!!

I missed all that Daisy missed excepting The Godfather and adding Fargo and The Breakfast Club to the list. There was another one that I missed, but I've already forgotten what it was.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The ones I missed were Iron Giant, which I still haven't seen, despite the fact that I own it on DVD, Breakfast Club and Forrest Gump neither of which I've seen since they were in theaters. So I don't feel too bad.

If I were to go see a movie tonight or tomorrow, should it be Ocean's 13, Knocked Up, or Live Free or Die Hard?

Die Hard is pretty entertaining, though the implausibilities started to overwhelm me at the end. Knocked Up is funny, but I didn't love it as much as most people. Haven't seen Ocean's 13.

Ocean's 13 because, y'know, Now! With more Izzard!

I haven't seen the other two but I LOVED LOVED LOVED Knocked Up. LOVED IT!

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Me, too. And The Iron Giant is one of my all-time favorite movies. Make sure you have plenty of kleenex before watching.

Edited to whitefont something tangentially spoilerishical. Also I should own up to the fact that the mistakes dealing with this movie and the one that doesn't really exist were the ones I missed.
