I love that fight.
I love that it remains so damn...friendly.
Seriously, I can't even remember the movie, it's been that long. I just remember kind of digging it.
It's diggable. And it's even freakier when you're sort of sleepy.

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.

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

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
And that fight went on way too long, holy crap.
I love that fight.
I'm also with The Fight love. I larfed and larfed and larfed.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Videodrome was...very strange and full of WTF. But I really liked the special effects. Except now I'm scared of my television.
Another film that improves with additional viewings. So many nifty little details. Plus it's the ultimate play on "Watching to much television is bad for you!"
I'm also with The Fight love. I larfed and larfed and larfed.
To paraphrase the scene:
"You WILL put on the glasses!"
"I will NOT put on the glasses!"
*Biff!* *Bam!* *Pow!*
"You WILL put on the glasses!"
"I will NOT put on the glasses!"
*Biff!* *Bam!* *Crunch!*
Rinse, lather, repeat for an hour.
And how can you not love a movie with the line (and I'm probably going to get it backwards): "I have come to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum!"

The fight in They Live is awesome because it goes on too long.
I'm kind of wanting to watch a lot of movies I loved when I was younger, like Romeo is Bleeding and all the Hal Hartley films, but I'm afraid that seeing them as a mid-30s person, they might, umm. Suck.
Romeo is Bleeding is still great! I mean, Lena Olin's still in it, so there you go.
I think my hobby today will be reading scathing reviews of Henry Poole is Here:
If ever there was a cinematic impetus to give up all hope for humanity and free expression, it is this patronizing, condescending, and vacuous waste of celluloid that looks like it was made for a hundred bucks.
Wow!

I'd forgotten that line was in the movie, so it took me by surprise, and I was kind of disappointed because it sort of came out of nowhere and fell really flat for me. It was like, "Wait, suddenly you want to be a movie with action hero catchphrases? Where have you been for the last forty-five minutes?"
The fight in They Live is awesome because it goes on too long.
That reasoning is sound.

Oh, dear Loward. At least he won't need a lot of make-up to play the part.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
even though I have very little enthusiasm for Clone Wars, I got a little tingly when I was putting STAR WARS up on the marquee this morning. I guess I'll always be a fan girl.
In other 'my marquee is a pita' news: whatever happened to nice sensible titles like Jaws and Stripes ? Today I had to put up Vicky Cristina Barcelona , Star Wars: the Clone Wars and Henry Poole is Here. I almost ran out of room and boy are my arms tired.

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