I love to pieces Nick Frost.
I left the theater believing that he should have been cast as Bane.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Saw World's End.
Best use of the opening of "This Corrosion" ever. I'm going to have to see the movie again so I can find out what the dialog after that was, because I was cackling too hard to hear it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When was that used, Jilli? I'm not familiar with it.
I noticed once when Gary was quoting lyrics, which made me realise I probably missed other instances. However I can't even remember the lyric I did catch.
Tom, he was very convincing is that regard.

At the World's End, when the robot of YoungGary appeared. The big choral surge in the background? That's the opening to "This Corrosion".
Plus, Gary's transformation at the end with his gang of young robots? Total shout-out to Andrew Eldritch in his cowboy hat phase.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Nick Frost was fan-fucking-tastic.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Not that I can quote much
I am dying to change my tagline to "Fuck you, you fucking lamp!"
And I left the theater more or less broken-hearted that Edgar Wright did not direct Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I adored that line, Jessica!

"Man Who Fell to Earth" is on free Comcast.
Since 90% of Buffistas have seen more films than I have this is probably redundant, but in case you missed it:
1) Starring David Bowie
2) Well written and directed. Think of it as a film version of "Stranger in a Strange Land" minus Heinlein's tendency in his later years to masturbate all over the manuscript.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Also Nicoals Roeg did a stellar run of movies in that era. Man Who Fell to Earth was probably his most radical, but given the likes of Walkabout, Don't Look Now & Bad Timing he was pound for pound one the great directors of that time period.
