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.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

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.

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

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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I did already know about this, but, his tranformation into the oaken-jawed manly man his previous roles used to parody is kind of... weird. Right? I'm not the only one mumbling behind her hand that she used to see him in cravats/bell bottoms/nothing at all and bad hair in such-and-such an indie movie, right?
Also, it is creepy that he does US publicity for his American roles in an American accent.

Well, if he is interviewed onset, I can see how he would stay with the accent. I know, for example, Hugh Laurie speaks in his House accent all during the shooting day. If he doing a press tour, that would be kind of...odd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He does it throughout the junket.
I guess...he's still on their dime? I dunno. Part of me thinks it's just one more bit of admission that the junket is roleplaying--I don't think if he went on Leno about Batman he'd talk in an American accent, though.
