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.

You walked out of The Muppet Movie?

You walked out of The Muppet Movie?

What can I say? I was a very cynical 10 year-old who wasn't buying a frog on a bicycle. My best friend walked out with me too.

You walked out of The Muppet Movie at age 10? I weep.

"That's a myth."

"A what?"

"Myth! Myth!"

"Yeth?"

Thrive to spite them

I walked out of Attack of the Clones and refuse to see the last Star Wars movie.

If I'd had a choice I would have walked out of ET, but I was there with a group from summer camp so I didn't have a choice.

It seems crazy to me, too. But I've never tried to watch it again, either.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Okay...that Iron Man thing looked very cool.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I walked out of E.T.

I have no glowing magic in my heart.

However, I love Kermit and Company past all reason, and tear up just thinking about The Muppet Movie.

The making of a hero: Iron Man teaser recorded at Comic Con. Get it while it's still up...

Holy crap. That looks awesome.

Life's like a movie, write your own ending...

So you were both gone with the Schwinn? Le sigh.

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

Le sigh.

Indeed.

ET was the first movie of that rating (14, was it?) that I saw when I turned that age. Me and Nadia DeLonghi--her birthday was two days after mine, and that's how we celebrated.

I liked it then. I will never watch it again.

I didn't like the Muppet movies anywhere as near as much as I liked the show itself, and now I want to bump all the episode discs up my Netflix queue from where I politely dispersed them.
