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.

Compassionately intolerant

Because Peter Cullen did the voice of Prime for both.

I didn't know that...which says something about how different my ears are now than they were then...or the resonance has taken on epic proportions in my memory.

Not that I didn't like the voice in the film, it just didn't make me all wibbly like it used to.

I'm just old and crusty I guess.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I tend to think of most of those Michael Bay movies (as listed by P-C) as Bruckheimer movies. And, the ones I've seen, I liked fine. Except Transformers. Transformers was just not spectacular enough, it did not wow me like I expected to be wowed.

Optimus Prime is Eeyore

Eeyore is Jewish

And Val Kilmer is Moses.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I think I thought Armageddon was fine.

3 words: Animal. Cracker. Scene.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I really liked THE ROCK when it came out, but haven't seen it in years, and I suspect it would be retroactively tainted by SMARMAGEDDON among other items in Bay's "oeuvre".

It was a Nicholas Cage movie in which Anthony Clark portrayed a character so stereotypically gay (in a mocking, disparaging manner) that he made Jack McFarlan look like Ennis Del Mar. You can imagine how thrilled I was while watching it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

3 words: Animal. Cracker. Scene.

Two more words: Space. Dementia.

Ann, that's a ferret.

3 words: Animal. Cracker. Scene.

I am now earwormed with "Hooray for Captain Spalding!"

I am now earwormed with "Hooray for Captain Spalding!"

Isn't that a good? Certainly infinitely better than remembering that scene in ARMAGEDDON.

Now I want to hear Steve Buscemi doing Ren's ice-cream bar soliliquy.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Two more words: Space. Dementia.

Now I'm imagining Steve Buscemi saying "Oh, my beloved ice-cream bar. How I love to lick your creamy center. And your oh, so nutty chocolate covering. You're not like the others. You like the same things I do: Wax paper. Boiled football leather. Dog breath. We're not hitchhiking anymore. We're riding!"

BOOM! Ren & Stimpy x-post!

How often do you see that?
