Ask me about Mission to Mars sometime.
I'm right there with you on that one, Fred Pete. And now I'll have to check out Barbarian Queen on your recommendation.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
MtM actually involves a personal story. It came out shortly before Hubs's mother died. Hubs was taking it very hard, and the rest of the family asked me to take him to a movie. So it got his mind off his mother's death for a couple hours, for which I'll be forever grateful.
BQ was Lana Clarkson's big moment, at least before she died in Phil Spector's home. I saw it right after a very difficult final exam period. I think every male character in that one was a rapist.

I like Spies Like Us, for crying out loud....

Get out. No, don't pick up your stuff. Just get the fuck out.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
But all they needed was garden hoses...
Or a spritzer bottle.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Really, you'd think the aliens would be smart enough to invade during winter. The humidity's lower.
But then they could be defeated by a humidifier! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Waterworld is the sort of movie that I could alllllmost see as a good movie, if it had had a totally different plot and different actors and much less in the way of "Die Hard! Off the coast of Hawaii!!" Which...on the up side, my idea of the movie wouldn't have cost eleventy zillion dollars to film.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Only if the twist is that he's one of a series of naked Ben Browder clones.
I'm not greedy. Just the one would suit me fine.
One and a spare, Matt. In case of injury or death or of the entire rest of his rabid fanbase still trying to get a piece of the poor objectified man.

Yeah, but we outnumber you. And we don't blame our "cultural heritage" for eating moldy foodstuffs in a tube.

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

Oh man. I appreciate your personal, anecdotal fondness for it, but that's one of my Worst Movie Ever touchstones.
