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.

They didn't really talk about the Twilight series much, though they did mention the Rowling comparisons.

They also mentioned the hordes of squealing pre-teen/teen fangirls and interviewed some of them.

The ones they picked were some of the most inarticulate Jello-headed bimbettes ever.

"I, like, like Edward because he's like...a vampire but not, you know, like, all vampire-like. And the love is so...love-ish and junk. It's AWESOME!"

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

exactly, Jilli! just like with my movie taste, it doesn't have to be award-winning greatness to get me to love it. it just has to be entertaining and these books certainly are.

question for you. did you love or hate Jacob?

I willingly watch Queen of the Damned. I giggle all the way through it, but I do own it on DVD.

question for you. did you love or hate Jacob?

I was ... exasperated by Jacob. Well, by his character archtype, I suppose. I thought he was okay.

I can't really say anything.

I willingly watch Judge Dredd. And while I do not own it on DVD YET, it's only a matter of time.

well...at least you don't hate him. that's an improvement. there are so few Jacob supporters.

Judge Dredd is underrated.

Cough.

Queen of the Damned, movie version, OTOH, is very pretty and makes me very angry. It's like a guide in how to heterosexualize yourself.

Err. Jilli's heard the rant. I'll stop.

I DARE YOU to say that to Pete. I think you can guess his opinion about the movie.

Oh, it totally is. But still amusing!

Err. Jilli's heard the rant. I'll stop.

But I like the rant. It's fun.

Oh yeah. Those interviewees were some serious closed-head-injury cases.

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

Cough.

I liked Judge Dredd ! Also, Demolition Man.

And I will admit an inordinate fondness for the silly Queen of the Damned movie.
