Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

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 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.

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

Jessica, you forgot this one:

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

Oops - I absolutely did. So we're up to 5?

Because books.

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

Woody Allen movies? (Old ones, anyway.) Taxi Driver? Serpico? The Lords of Flatbush? Saturday Night Fever?

Ann, that's a ferret.

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

If you're Fran Drescher, you have enough other problems. For one thing, you're Fran Drescher.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Generic Southern can be split into two Generics, Generic Hillbilly and Generic Southern Gentry.

If you're Fran Drescher, you have enough other problems. For one thing, you're Fran Drescher.

Oh, well. I'm sure she cries herself to sleep each night on a pile of money or something.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Noah Clarke and Cumberbatch. Mmm.

Don't forget Generic (Southern) Californian, although that seems to have fallen out of favor lately.

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

Don't forget Generic (Southern) Californian, although that seems to have fallen out of favor lately.

Dude! It's generic stoner surfery speak.

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

Don't forget Generic (Southern) Californian, although that seems to have fallen out of favor lately.

I think of that not as a regular accent so much as it is an 80's movie reference.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Do the accents from Fargo count if I can't think of any other movie that has them? I'm sure they exist, just having trouble coming up with one.
