Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'


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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I guess it's not very clear. I'm pretty sure it comes up in the reconciliation conversation between the Dutchman and Calypso where she says it is her nature to be sexayy as she's sort of an elemental and consequently her infidelity was to be expected.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Really? I missed that somehow

Yeah, I missed that too, and don't think it was made very clear in the end bit after the credits.

Also, if that is the case, then who takes over the Flying Dutchman? Because part of the job is to ferry/shepard the dead to the other side, right?

Right before Will had to leave on the Dutchman.

Ooooh, right. I had to go look at a summary; I'd forgotten that scene.

Though I'm kind of disappointed; I was hoping there was something scandalous going on.

I think it's a Dread Pirate Roberts type gig where you pass it on. I suppose there are always some folks willing to make that trade.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Fucking ridiculous. It's a heavy special effects movie, so you have to sit through about 8 minutes of bullshit, waiting to pee, to see a substantial piece of the narrative? I can't recall if I waited to the end of Pirates or not, but I rarely do it anymore. It's NEVER WORTH IT.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I always wait to leave until after the credits. Sometimes there's a little sump'n sump'n, sometimes not. My fave might be Matthew Broderick at the end of Ferris Bueller, coming out in a robe and peering out at the audience and saying "Why are you still here? Go home!"

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

We watched Hud the other night - it was really excellent. I especially liked Lonnie (Brandon de Wilde, who also played the little boy in Shane). I went to imdb to see what else he'd done and saw that he died at 30 in a car crash. Sad.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

It's NEVER WORTH IT.

Although I very much enjoyed watching the footprints wandering around at the end of the Harry Potter #3 credits. They never particularly went anywhere, and nothing was revealed; just, watching invisible feet dance around was funny.

The evil is this way?

Also, at some point I think the footprints changed from those of a person to those of a dog. It was kinda cute.
