Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned  

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.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

That's a good point, ita. Maybe their pact is something about the way it's done? Because that kiss wasn't really that big a deal. It was just kind of quick. But I honestly have no idea.

Up with the sun

In high school, I had a friend who had a theory that if one half of a celebrity couple had a hot and heavy love scene onscreen with someone other than their real-life partner, it meant their marriage (or whatever) was in trouble.

I know there are probably more exceptions than couples that's true for, but the Rachel Bilson/Adam Brody rumor reminded me of it.

move out and draw fire

But it's not the actor kissing someone else, it's their character kissing another character...(not getting it, I guess).

Hey kids, it's another version of Evil Dead! Except not directed by Raimi, and should be it's own version and not a studio/distributor thing. Still, it fills in that last bit of DVD shelf next to all the other Evil Dead versions.

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

it's not the actor kissing someone else, it's their character kissing another character...

That having been said, there are still spouses that have a problem with seeing the visual, even significant others in the business.

If they don't use Bruce Campbell (and they might not, cuz, you know, old) they really need to get ahold of Nicholas Brendon's agent.

"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

That link also says that they'll be making a Grudge sequel now that the American remake has cracked the $100 million mark. Yay! More crab-crawling work for Takako Fuji!

eta: this site [link] says that Justin Theroux is in the running to play Ash.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. NO!

If I only had a brain...

Varnakaos said as Stone has the right to freely express himself, the audience should have the right to know.

"We cannot come out and say that (former U.S.) President John F. Kennedy was a shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team and so Warner cannot come out and say Alexander was gay," Varnakos said.

Has this guy ever SEEN an Oliver Stone movie?

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

that Justin Theroux is in the running to play Ash

Well that's...unexpected.

Oh well, better than Justin Timberlake I guess. Although seeing Timberlake put through the average Ash abuse quotient of an Evil Dead movie COULD be a lot of fun, but it would be sort of meta.

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

What's that quote from, Betsy?
