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.

"No horseshit, Wang?"
"No horseshit, Jack."
And of course (say it with me) "When (whatever the present boggle) taps the back of your favorite head on the barroom wall and says, 'have you paid your dues?' ol' Jack Burton just looks 'em in the eye and says, 'Yes sir, the check.is.in.the.mail'."
I still haven't seem BB all the way through. I always seem to fall asleep in there somewhere, so what I remember of the movie may actually be dreams inspired by the soundtrack. I need to drink a pot of coffee and try again.
Buckaroo has one of my two favorite John Lithgow performances (the other being Garp).
"Laugh all-a you want, Monkeyboy!"
It's not my DAMN planet, Monkeyboy!
