I have nothing intelligent to add - I just wanted to share that my ridiculous crush on Kal Penn made me DVR not only Van Wilder (which also has Ryan Reynolds, om nom nom nom), but Van Wilder 2: The Rise Of Taj. The first one is cute, the 2nd one, meh. Plus, Penn's accent suffers from major slippage.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

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.

Juliana, I was vaguely interested in watching those movies too (since Comedy Central was showing them over and over all weekend), but I figured it was silly to watch movies like that edited.

It is, but it's not like a Denis Leary comedy where you actually lose a lot in the editing. I enjoyed VW enough that I'd pick it up if I saw it in the $5 bin at Target. (And then maybe get to see more nekkid RR.) The 2nd one - you're really not losing much by watching it edited. Promise.

I noticed that it has Lauren Cohan! Which made me want to watch it more.
I'll see if Comedy Central runs them a few dozen more times and set my DVR, thanks. I do like Ryan Reynolds and Kal Penn.

Lauren Cohan
Ohdeargodbadfangirl. I was wondering why she looked so familiar. Ooof.
I do like Ryan Reynolds and Kal Penn.
They play off each other very nicely.

Ok, interesting topic of relevance to, um, some of us, what is the dumbest movie you've rented for love?Either real love, or the Drool Streaks on the Monitor kind...up to you?

I like The 400 Blows quite a bit (especially the in-jokes referring to other scenes from French cinema), but Truffaut is my least favorite director of the French New Wave. I absolutely hate Jules et Jim and don't have much use for Shoot the Piano Player.
I love L'Avventura and liked Blow Up, but man, Antonioni was all about the ennui. There's no action.

I rented Uwe Boll's House of the Dead because Tyron Leitso was one of the stars. I hope I never sink lower than that.

I rented White Noise 2 for Nathan Fillion. The Katie Sackoff was a bonus. The plot was... not.
