I just went to see Iron Man, and even though it is not brand new it seems that most people didn't know about the extra scene after the credits because they left before it aired. I forget that everyone isn't us.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Frankly, when I wait to the end of the credits, I expect a payoff, now.
Just got back from Hellboy II and loved it! Though I could shoot them for the Manilow - I can't get it out of my head now!
My question is wasn't Liz's fire blue in the first one?
I miss DHP's voice as Abe but thought the new one was ok. But didn't Abe have to always wear the breathing apparatus when out of his tank? Even when he was within the compound headquarters?

Hey. New board.
I saw Wall*E and Hellboy II today. I liked them both quite a bit, though I wasn't quite as blown away by Wall*E as I sort of hoped to be. The Incredibles still trumps it in my Pixar list.
Awesomely, movies before noon at AMC theaters in NYC are only $6, instead of $11. This was a nice thing that I learned today.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Saw WallE, and I can I just say, I called it: [link]

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I saw both Wall-E and Hellboy 2 and loved, Loved, LOVED them. The short Presto was made of awesome as well.
A couple of random thoughts.
Wall-E: The malfunctioning robots were GREAT! Especially the hyper one that looked like just a pair of arms and took out the security 'bots. Also, Wall-E and Eve 4EVAH!!! Ahem, anything more coherent than that is not forthcoming at this time.
Hellboy: The crying-in-our-beers scene was one of my favorites, as well as the one where Krauss shows he can take Hellboy (and I rather liked Seth MacFarlane, which surprised me as I very much loathe Family Guy), and, of course, the Goblin Market ("I'm not a baby, I'm a tumor."). The story was kind of pro-forma, but given all the eye candy, more story would have almost been a distraction. The only thing that bothered me a little was the actress who played the princess (who I liked otherwise) bore a distracting resemblance to Calista Flockhart. Oh, that and the fact that they had Roy Dotrice in the same movie with Ron Perleman and didn't give them a scene together).

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I didn't see a movie out in a theater today, but I did re-watch a couple of great movies during my daughter's long naps (she slept very poorly last night, and probably napped for something like 7 hours total today): High And Low and Aguirre, Wrath of God. It's been at least ten years since I watched the latter, and as much as I loved it then, I like it even more now. The former, of course, is one of the all-time great detective stories that's really about something else. I have a couple of movies on the tivo that I haven't seen before, but these were calling to me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I got Zero Effect from the library on Kathy A's recommendation, and I really enjoyed it! My teenage cousin especially liked it: "It's really funny...but it's also a good movie!"

Keith Szarabajka is in TDK!? Why didn't I already know this? I blame all of you. Unless I already knew and forgot, in which case I blame all of you for the memory-destroying drugs you hae been slipping into my water. You jerks.
Oh, and I got prank-called by the Joker on Friday. Which was pretty awesome.
