The speedometer in The Chase Scene is not exaggerating
Oh that's so neat. I will have to tell my 12 y.o. I just showed him that part of the movie and he loved it.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

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.

It's so much more fun when it's real and not CGI

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I love TBB. I will stop whatever I'm doing and watch that friggin movie.
I especially love it if I can catch the movie before they go to Kokomo.

Blues Brothers & Midnight Run are probably my favorite crazy let's-watch-cars-flip movies.
Man, now I need to see Midnight Run again, it's been ages. Blues Brothers has the whole cult thing so it turns up every so often, but I feel like MR has sort of been forgotten.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
MR is a great movie. TBS/TNT was having a run on the film a few months back.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Tonight, I watched Escape from New York, because I think John Carpenter was supposed to have made good movies back in the day. It was really boring and cheesy. I thought it was supposed to be an action movie. There wasn't a lot of action. I enjoyed the "Heard you were dead" gag, though. And Adrienne Barbeau's breasts deserved their own credit.
Then I watched The Blob, with Steve(n) McQueen. It was much more entertaining. But sillier.

Love Midnight Run!! Charles Grodin was just awsome; I don't think he ever had a better role. And he and DeNiro played off each other perfectly.
Ninety-nine bottles of beer. On. The. Wallllllll!
There were some good looking chickens back there, Jack.
I want chorizoan eggs.
Also love TBB, of course.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"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
A friend of mine once cracked up most of a theater by yelling "Snake Plissken? I thought you were dead!" when the preview for Escape from LA started playing on the screen.
