Buffistas

I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Yeah, chestnut's not rare or exotic.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Until I saw a picture of the whole horse. D'oh. That thing could eat a palamino and have room for dessert.

Palomino's actually a color.

No kidding? I didn't know that (obviously).

All right, that's the New Thing I learned today!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Isn't one of the lyrics from "Greased Lightnin"- "She's got a palomino dash board and dual muffler twins, oh yeah"? Although have no idea what a palomino dashboard might be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

First Secretary, Secretariat's first foal

His dam was an Appaloosa, though, right?

Palomino draft horses - you'd think there'd be a market for giant golden horses!

Hidalgo - quoting Wikipedia, "Multiple American Paint Horses were filmed as the horse "Hidalgo"; actor Viggo Mortensen later bought RH Tecontender, one of those horses in the film. Screenwriter John Fusco bought Oscar, the main stunt horse and retired him at Red Road Farm, his American Indian horse conservancy."

You know what bugged me about Hidalgo? At the end, when Hopkins releases him to go free with the herd of mustangs, you can see a glint of metal as he runs off that shows he still has shoes on. Wouldn't that be dangerous for the horse?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

heavy draft for palomino color, but I don't think there's a huge market for it.

They're not as heavy as Percherons or Clydesdales, but Belgians are draft and pretty darn big.

Not all Belgians are palomino, but the breeder near where we lived in NC bred for that coloration.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

What bugged me about Hidalgo was the scene(s) where Viggo is supposed to be riding bareback and the saddle is clearly visible.

Most of them are light chestnut. I considered mentioning them, but decided against it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You plant people know you're the only ones who have the slightest clue, right? The rest of us just go "flower!"

You don't know the half of it. My entire interaction with the boards is made up of me sitting at the computer and shouting "actor!" "dress!" "cat!" "nun!"

I think you'll agree, my voice recognition software is top-notch.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

There used to be a whole big run of young adult horse books that featured palominos.
