Could have used more stripping.
Egads, yes. And the ending drives me nuts. Why not have his furniture be the catalyst for change instead of a girl ?
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

What I always loved about Ernest Borgnine was his eyebrows. I saw him in some schlockfest where he got possessed by the devil, and the only makeup change they did was to twist his eyebrows out. I tell Hubby he's got Ernest Borgnine eyebrowse, but he only pouts at me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Spoiler, Suzi? But I think it can fairly be considered to be both.
We had an extended clusterfuck before finally seeing the movie, going back and forth between two theaters and back again, seeing the first ten minutes of Savages, on and on. My friend had bought both of our tickets, and she went back in to see about a refund -- I told her to try to get free tickets she could use at night, since we only paid for a matinee! But don't know what came of it.

Fixed, Jesse. But how so both? It felt like his furniture got dropped after he had to use his nest egg money . Or am I forgetting something?

I just feel like maybe not -- it's all so unresolved. I mean, he's not going to Miami, so he's got to do something, and I don't think he lost all of his ambitions. I mean, maybe he did, but I don't think it was clear.

I guess I wish it had been more clear and more of his motivation. Beyond that, there could have been more eye candy.

Mostly I wish Adam had just gone back to the fucking sorority house the next day to get his bag! Those guys would have been gone, the girls would probably have been embarassed and just wanted him out of there.

Perfect, Jesse. That would have solved a lot.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The furniture dream by itself wasn't getting it done. After all, by staying in the stripping world, he lost his bankroll. I guess the girl was the inspiration to seek it out.
No one else seemed to have the biggest problem I had which was 13K in six years?! First of all, at three nights a week + the door, he should be making something like $50K a year, TAX FREE, on stripping ALONE. He's only saving $2K?! Freaking ludicrous, especially considering I totted up at least $10K in chairs from DWR, probably twice as much in other items. PLUS! That furniture could be made piece-by-piece and sold on Etsy or eBay or at a freestanding store! That whole thing was, to me, hilariously underbaked. Not that I thought it made a bad movie, but COME ON.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aw, Juliebird, I'm sorry. I have a feeling I kind of loved everything that you hated about it, especially the Bollywood. Probably no Buffista should ever listen to me about movies.
