I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Juno won best screenplay at the Oscars. Woo!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Well, that was a given.
I was very surprised by Diablo Cody's acceptance speech. I expected some too-cool-for-school spiel full of made-up lingo, and instead she responded like a genuine human being. Gave me a whole new (more favorable) impression of her.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
!!!!!!!
I had absolutely no idea they were making a second X Files movie.
Fanbloodytastic!
...so this would be an excellent time to buy & (re)watch all the seasons of the show, wouldn't it?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Saw 4 months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days this weekend. REALLY amazing film, with a complex, strong and believable female protagonist. It's set in Romania during Ciacescu (or however you spell it)'s reign. Dark but SO well done.

There was a preview for this when I went to see There Will Be Blood yesterday and the guy sitting behind me said, "What is that about? Are they smuggling drugs?!"
And, granted I've read about the movie but how could it not be obviously about an illegal abortion?!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
This is probably very late to the party but ...
HA!!!
Not all the actors in Harry Potter have been British! Vern Troyer played Griphook in Sourcer's Stone!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Also, I thought the guy playing Big Soccer Quidditch Star From Upper Slavicland was actually from some Slavic country. And I bet at least some of the girls from the French school were French.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
So, this is how incredibly geeky me and my buddy Steve are:
I go over to his place and he excitedly shows me the Star Trek movie trailer, where it's just guys building the Enterprise. Welding, sparks flying and stuff...neat.
And I turn to him and say "Are they building that thing on a planet?"
He nods, his eyes lighting up; he was thinking what I was thinking. "Yep."
"But...it's been established it had to be built in orbit!"
"Yep."
"It would crush itself under its own weight under planetary gravitation!"
"Yep."
"Even Mars' roughly 1/3 Earth normal gravity. Crunch!"
"Yep."
"What the fuck is the matter with them?!"
"That's what I said!"
Aimee looks at Jen (Steve's wife), rolls her eyes and says "Who cares?"
Steve and I gape at her.
Girls.
