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.

Clearly, the only recourse left to us is war.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Hmm... I was thrilled when it was revived because the first run was IMO brilliant. Since it was brought back, I've hated every ep I've seen.

Amych is me. The first run was amazing. Second run? Had lost the magic.

But then, I also think Futurama is one of the most appallingly boring things ever to air for more than five minutes, so different strokes and all.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

First, Selma Blair. Now this. You're like my antipode.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

FG turned me off the 4th time they went to the Hitler well for a joke. I know it's good to laugh at things and thereby reduce their power, but eh. Plus, I have a low tolerance for egregious stupidity, and I think FG crams in too much meta for meta sake (this from a woman who loves the Animaniacs, so you may deduce that my meta tolerance is high).

I wanted to love Futurama. I've been a fan of MG since before The Simpsons.

It left me colder than Blair leaves you. Julia Roberts cold.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Good God, woman! The Kissinger slash and black licorice love and delectation of Chip Ahoys dunked in cheese dip were clearly just scratching the surface of your profound perversity.

eta: Seriously? Even "Leela's Home World?" I don't think I have cried so hard at any animated thing ever as I did at that. Lilo & Stitch doesn't even come close.

This is where Ple's charm lies. She has a very charismatic Wrongness.

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

Didn't this end up being a Xena ep? It was weird.

It was a failed pilot that got reedited into a Xena episode. If it had gotten picked up, we'd all be talking about what a kick-ass action hero Selma Blair is right now.
