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.

Always Anti-fascist!
I think Ratatouille was one of the best animated movies I saw in a long time. Also, Lilo and Stitch. I don't see a lot of them. They disappoint me often.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Yeah. Stitch is such a surly, snarly malcontent. They really didn't try to fuzzy him up. And the sister is trying so so hard. And Lilo with the punishing her friends, and her bug infested Scrump and her flabby tourist love.
Weird and screwed-up families containing deep love for each other = BULLETPROOF for me!

They disappoint me often.
If you just learned to Believe In Yourself, erika, you'd appreciate them more. Also, quit being such a selfish jerk, and learn to value others. Clearly, your failure to absorb pat moral lessons from the entertainment industry is a personal flaw.

Same reason large dude in Lilo & Stitch is constantly denied his mint chocolate chip ice cream
Also cruel and unnecessary. The unappealing looking folks deserve their happies, too.

Lilo thought he was beautiful.

Yeah, but the people writing the movie didn't, and they're the ones who wouldn't let him have his ice cream.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The unappealing looking folks deserve their happies, too.
Course they do. I see it as a life like storytelling device. So very often we as people are denied, oftentimes through no action of our own, our happies.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Huh. I never even considered body image issues in the Tourist Who Can't Get His Ice Cream. I was happily chuckling at a well-worn comedy trope.

He could have been a thin schlump, but you never see the pretty people being denied their goodies. It's always the hang-dog guy or the fat guy--the one you're allowed to make fun of.
