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."

The vibraphonist is at least Red Norvo, who may not be one of the great jazzists but is at least more than competent.

He's considered a major jazz vibes player.

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

Screaming Mimi doesn't seem to be available on DVD ::pout::

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It being on TCM means it may be soon, though.

singing "Put the Blame on Mame."

But only the first verse. I guess they had to leave time to show the whole screwy dance routine again.

Ann, that's a ferret.

He's considered a major jazz vibes player.

I thought his numbers were far better than the movie deserved.

I guess they had to leave time to show the whole screwy dance routine again.

It also wasn't Lee's finest hour. For that, I'd recommend Stage Door Canteen.

move out and draw fire

I've seen Troops, but the other "Fan Films That Don't Suck" [link] are new to me.

However, gotta love this:

Want to see how Alien Vs. Predator III could be made better?

Add Batman.

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

Want to see how Alien Vs. Predator III could be made better?

Add Batman.

If that's referring to the fan film Batman: Dead End then you should watch it. It is AWESOME! I actually have a copy of it on DVD.

Hey. New board.

It is!

More importantly, I think I'm going to regularly start using the phrase: "Wanna see how to make x better? Add Batman!"

"Wanna see how to make The Love Guru better? Add Batman!"

"Wanna see how to make your sex life better? Add Batman!"

Wanna see how to make your macaroni and cheese recipe better? Add Batman!"

"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

"Wanna see how to make The Love Guru better? Add Batman!"

Actually, I think that movie needs the Joker for true improvement.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Was Zefferelli's Romeo & Juliet and R? I saw The French Connection and The Godfather around the same era, I can't remember what was first.
