Bwahahahaha! Please record yourself doing this, and send it to me. I will surprise Pete with it.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Instead, I will have to go see it by myself, but I will talk to myself about it afterward (since that's almost the same thing), only I'll make one of the voices talk all British and say things like "pants" and "bullocks" and "scones". Adorably.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Did anyone else get a Heath Ledger vibe from him?
I do, even in Thor

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Awwww, Susan Tyrell died.
She'll always be the evil queen in Forbidden Zone to me. The interviews with her on that DVD blew my mind. She was so outrageous. The first time she saw Herve Villechaize she thought, "I'm gonna fuck that dwarf!" And they hooked and were lovers for a while.
I remember when she did her one woman show in LA. I didn't see it but it sounded incredible. She'd talk about coming back from shooting an exploitation movie in Spain, getting another round of plastic surgery, holing up at the Chateau Marmont until the bandages came off and then screwing some poolboy for a month. Just wild living on the Hollywood periphery for years.
Ellen Barkin was just on TCM recently with Robert Osborne and talked about Tyrell's career making performance in Fat City.
eta: A quote from her ganked from AV Club:
"I'm a loner. I don't like beautiful people, but I find beauty in the grotesque. And in the sweet soul inside someone who has been able to get through their life without being a rat's ass. Such people should be collected, should be swept up immediately and kept in a box of broken people."
A very Waitsian sentiment.

Oh, Sean. It's "bollocks". The Sex Pistols weren't requesting you ignore the bovines. Don't worry, I will give you a refresher course in what bollocks mean when I kick you in them.
And yes, I may actually like this new Dredd movie. Pity The Raid got to the screen with one of the core concepts of the trailer though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So far I've seen that Brave is Highlander, How To Train Your Dragon, and Mulan.
With a girl, a girl and a bear, and white people, respectively.
People are really sure about this.

I’be heard that it’s Koyaanisqatsi with a plot. Or that it's My Dinner With Andre in the woods.
OK, maybe not.

Oh, and it's How To Train Your Dragon with Irish people and a girl and a bear.
