I have to say I adore Indiana Jones, despite the fact that as a former archaeologist I never wore a fedora, used a whip, or BROKE as many damned things as he does.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I hate the rich men wear ascots trope.

Bwah-Ha-Ha-- although it is kinda a great shorthand when working with high school actors, for some reason.

I once dated someone who wore an ascot.

I went to college with a guy who occasionally wore and ascot. And yes, he was rich, but even the other rich kids thought he was OTT.

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

Any of these guys solve mysteries? Drive around in a weirdly-colored van? Been describes as a "meddling kid"?

Not sure of my guy's exact finances, but since I met him at his sister’s wedding in the Royal Chapel in the Seville Cathedral and his family had a box in the Real Madrid stadium, I’m going to go with rich.
ETA: He did not solve mysteries. The only mystery was why the f*ck I thought dating a guy who wore an ascot would be a good thing.

And while I can't think of an example offhand, I react worst when it's done with music. If you're setting your movie in the '80s, your soundtrack shouldn't include "Baby Got Back."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Just when I thought I couldn't possibly love you more, dearest Jon B... the Big Giant Emotionally Sweeping And Completely Anachronistic Theme Song of that movie drives me so bugfuck I literally can't sit through any of the rest of it. Even during the 99% of the movie that it's not playing, I know it's there, lurking, with its wrong wrong sound.
I have the same problem with Grease; some of the music is really really good fake '50s music, and some of it just makes you say, "Really, I beg your pardon, but what the fucking fuck?"

And here I thought he was just making a "Baby" joke.
