Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd put Michael Bay at -1 on artistic

Where would you put your UPS guy? Margaret Thatcher? Your high school math teacher?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It does once I figured you didn't mean axes chop chop but axes lines.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I have the suspicion that "famous" correlates with "crazy" more than "artistic" does.

Celebrities have more narcissistic personality traits than the general population, and people with narcissistic tendencies seem to be attracted to the entertainment industry rather than the industry creating narcissists, according to a groundbreaking study

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

+5, +5, +1 -- in my head "more artistic" is on the left side of the page. Not sure why. I do love my UPS guy. And my favorite hs math teacher was more artistic than you might think.

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

The problem with Michael Bay movies overall, for me, is that he appears intent on positing the human species as too dumb to live.

Please, feel free to make my points for me. Not an artist.

Now, now. I'm sure we can think up "real artists" that would meet your torturation criteria who also posit the human species as too dumb to live. Why, that's kind of the raison d'etre for certain flavors of literature, no?

I have the suspicion that "famous" correlates with "crazy" more than "artistic" does.

I have the suspicion that any study on the entertainment industry done by someone that calls themselves Dr. Drew is highly suspect.

Sounds like the study has some narcissisticism of its own.
