If Samuel L. Jackson is Inigo, Angelina Jolie is Buttercup. With curled hair and, when in emotional distress, chapped lips.

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.
I'm perverse. I want to see that movie.
Yeah, who doesn't now?
I want to see that movie IF it can take place on a space station and be directed by David Fincher.
hmm. I think Jessica's perversity sobered me right up.

Hmm. I think it just upped my buzz.
So in honor of Dennis Hopper, I watched Blue Velvet.
...That was a side of Dennis Hopper I hadn't seen before.
Also Dean Stockwell.
I didn't know anything about the movie. It was my first David Lynch movie. Are they all full of kinky sex? That was a fucked-up movie. It's a strange world, indeed.
As a chaser, I watched The Thaw, in which global warming releases a prehistoric parasite that threatens such luminaries as Val Kilmer and Aaron Ashmore. It was actually pretty good and had a Point beyond grossing you out with shots of parasite eggs.
All David Lynch movies are trippy and weird. Blue Velvet might be the most watchable. Eraserhead is my favorite and possibly the most bizarre.
Eraserhead is my favorite and possibly the most bizarre.
There is, out there somewhere, audio tape of James Earl Jones exclaiming in incredulous tones, "Eraserhead?!"
Eraserhead is my favorite and possibly the most bizarre.
Eraserhead is the most bizarre movie ever made that was intended to be taken seriously. There, I said it.
Blue Velvet is probably the least weird David Lynch movie.
