We did see the ship being built. Kirk looks. But not the footage we'd seen before.
Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I just saw Terminator.
IMO, this is not a good movie. It is better than Wolverine, but not good. This movie has a whole lot of cliches and is predictable.
On the other hand, the movie wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it was a bit boring in places.

I know this is Buffista Converstation #something, but oh, Moulin Rouge. Yes, the characters are paper-thin. Yes, nothing but a re-telling of La Boheme. But it's So. Damn. Pretty.

Always Anti-fascist!
I know...I'm kind of embarrassed that I like it, but I do. It's such a teenage mess of a thing. And Ewan.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Heh. Me three. Only the costumes, Choreography and art direction more than the people. (Not that the people are not pretty. But the overall look of the film is even prettier. And I like the use of anachronistic use of pop hits of the past few decades.) Yes, I'm shallow.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Bring It On: All or Nothing starts out really terrible and remains pretty terrible but is somehow mildly entertaining anyway.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I want Kirk's motorcycle.
I want Pike's wheelchair.
I'm not sure what to make of Pixar - every premise is so amazingly sad that I tear up just reading about it. And I always swear I'm not going to go see the movie because I don't want to bawl in public. And yet, they always pull it off.
Yeah, there were bits of Wall-E where I pretty much sobbed.

“Not dead yet!”

Me four. But then again, I'm openly Baz Luhrmann's bitch.
I watch the El Tango de Roxanne scene over and over-- it's just one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Besides that red dress that Satine wears.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Moulin Rouge is a total Bollywood film and its worth should be judged on that basis.
Also, I had a total "hair standing up on the back of my neck" moment when I first watched the movie and the Roxanne song started up, because I wasn't expecting it and we slid so smoothly into it that recognition hit me like a bucket of champagne. You can't buy moments like that, just hope that you run across them.

Hey. New board.
I love that scene so much that I have a hard time listening to the original song. I'm all like "Your voice is not gravelly enough, Sting! And you do not have a violin playing creepy minor-key accents! Improve!"
