I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Cumbermuffin will be a Romulan surely.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

But usually there's a British accent lurking beneath the adopted Russian or German accent.

Ha, so true! I was just thinking of Rickman in Die Hard.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

When British people are Batman and Spiderman and Superman I think they're doing ok, casting-wise.

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

But they're doing it with American accents! So, you know, we still have some ground to hoe.

Of course, most American movies have people with, what, one of three American accents? So the fact that there are not British accents I find hardly surprising.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

  • Standard American Stage English
  • Generic Southern
  • Gangster
  • Boston

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Because books.

What about New York/New Jersey?

In practice, that falls under Gangster, unless you're Fran Drescher.

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

In practice, that falls under Gangster, unless you're Fran Drescher.

Apparently you missed her gangsta rap album, Straight Outta Parsippany.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Apparently you missed her gangsta rap album, Straight Outta Parsippany.

This just made me laugh like a drain! My BFF's aunt lives in Parsippany, and for years I thought she lived in Persephone.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

A couple things: How did Jennifer Garner's character get back to wherever she got back to in time? She flew to San Fran, and then was in her boyfriend's restaurant in time to concoct a plan to be his server?

I assumed travel by broom was involved.
