Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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.

Hives. The man gives me hives. I understand there's a talented comedian lurking somewhere there, but it's been forever since I could see that far.

I am as one with ita.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

My take has always been Robin was at his best when he was on cocaine and delivered 20 jokes a minute. You don't like his last punchline? Wait 5 seconds another will come up. And then he got off coke, and he did not lose his talent. But he ended up with hyper-SNAG self presentation/ self image ex-substance abuser males sometimes end up with. And it ends up in most of the roles he plays, not all, but most.

move out and draw fire

Since Terry Gilliam was the famousest alum of my college (up until recently), we pretty much had Mandatory Gilliam Studies. Fiona's diss would've fit right in.

My annoyance with the 2012 previews was the inability of the airplane pilot to find the climb controls so they can get above all the collapsing buildings.

That, and...Santa Monica Airport! Why are they flying back inland? (and the plane engines wouldn't be able to handle the amount of debris in the air, and...Not My Movie.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So I'm going to buy Space Trek or Star Schwinn or whatever it's called today. Should I care about Abrahms' commentary? Because I'm tempted to just download it from iTunes.

Star Schwinn

I read that as "Star Schwing" and laughed and laughed.

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

That's the version with the Kirk commentary.

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

DH reviewed the DVD yesterday and he lists all the extras - [link]

Bonus Features: It couldn’t have been easy relaunching a massive franchise like Star Trek, but Abrams and his core creative team sound like they had a blast, at least judging from the lively commentary track that accompanies the feature. The cast and crew are equally enthusiastic and upbeat in the myriad featurettes included on the second disc, which cover such topics as the casting process, the special effects and the design of the new Enterprise. There are also 12 deleted scenes, two of which go a long way to clearing up the film’s biggest mystery-what exactly did the bad guy do while hanging around in the middle of deep space for 25 years?

Huh. I just saw the DVD for $20. On iTunes it's $14.99 ($19.99 for HD). (I was thinking it'd be $10 on iTunes.) There are extras in the iTunes version (two featurettes, international trailers, art and a "secret code that unlocks additional content").

So I think I'll grab the DVD from the grocery store....
