Now, I'm not sure which one I meant.
( Big Jake or Rio Grande )
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

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.

Pete is still really really cross that there's no GIANT PSYCHIC SQUID. I'm okay with it, because it really was kind of a "What? A WHAT?" moment when I first read the comic.
I have nothing to add to the Westerns discussion. Pete really likes the genre, and I ... put up with them when he wants to watch them. I mean, they're okay, and some of them have interesting stories and characters, but it's not a genre I search out.

Not even for the petticoats?

No, because they're always set in frontier towns. No one has lavish outfits, or even interestingly distressed and disheveled ones. Not even the whores, dammit.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
because it really was kind of a "What? A WHAT?" moment when I first read the comic.
Which, in the comic, is exactly the point. I just love how Dan and Laurie are standing there going "..the fuck? You're the smartest man in the world and THIS is your plan? Seriously???" And Adrian is all "You only think it's funny because you're not as smart as me. Anyway I already pushed the button. Nyah nyah nyah."
But I think film is paced so differently that you couldn't get away with it. There's no way for the audience to flip back and forth to make sure they didn't misread and then sit with it for awhile before moving on.

You wouldn't consider Joanie Stubbs from DEADWOOD as having a lavish outfit?

This is very true. When I re-read the graphic novel recently, I hit the splash page with the GIANT PSYCHIC SQUID and burst out with "Squiiiiiiiids frommmmmm Spaaaaaaaace!" Pete threw a pillow at my head, IIRC.

Hey. New board.

Not Jilli or Pete, but I just watched this.
It... kind of looks like a video game? Admittedly, a pretty awesome video game, but I'm not really bowled over by it.
