Loved it when I was a kid, love it now.
My faith in Polter is restored.
Buckaroo Banzai is a very Dadaist movie. Though the DVD extras do explain about the watermelon in the press.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

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.

BTW, Polter, what did you think of the 2nd Predator movie?

I love Buckaroo Banzai, I can't help it. I saw it when it first came out, and it totally cemented my attraction to Peter Weller. It makes no sense but I love it.

I never had any difficulty following the plot of Buckaroo Banzai

Because books.
I've never seen Buckaroo Bonzai. But I've seen Young Frankenstein about a million times.
I always wanted to like High Anxiety, but it wasn't really very good.

Blazing saddles was funny - just not rolling on the floor funny. But I was underwhemed compard to those who think it one one of the great comedies. Buckaroo - I just don't get the appeal.

Has Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy really never been filmed before now? I just saw the ad, and based on the cast alone I want to see it, but it looks awesome, too.
