Before I forget, I bookmarked this article for you, Corwood.
Transcendental Style in the Cinema of John Ford. Comments are well worth reading also. (For a change.)
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

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.

Thanks! I read that the other day, actually. Kenny gets on my nerves often (this one, in particular, was freakin' awful, nothing but self-satisfied japery masquerading as criticism), but it's always good to read someone taking Metcalf down.

ET was also the reason Blade Runner tanked at the box office. They opened on the same weekend.
But that's 'Ffista movie discussion no. 23, right?

I saw a double-feature in a theatre of The Thing and Alien when I was ... 9? 10? Around then. Talk about not sleeping for days afterward.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Damn, Jilli. Seriously.

Heh, and now we hit Buffista conversation #62.5 - what was your most traumatizing formative movie-going experience.

It was kind of awesome, if extremely scary. My mom's best friend had a huge crush on Kurt Russel, and my best friend and I were precocious horror/SF geeks. It seemed like a good idea.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Let's see... when I was about four or five, I saw some version of A Christmas Carol - the scene where Scrooge went to hell kinda' traumatized me.
I wasn't allowed to see R movies when I was a kid, so no traumas there....

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Oh wait, movie-going? I guess Taps. I don't mind tanks when they're stationary, like the ones at military museums you can climb on are awesome. But when they're moving or the cannon pivots I get totally skeeved.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The goo-comes-out-of-the-bathtub scene in Ghostbusters 2 scared the shit out of me. I didn't take a bath for over a year after that.
