Nah, I think Hec's right on this one -- they're saying that he delivered SUCH AN AWESOME SCRIPT that it's okay for him to pull out of directing, he's done more than enough already.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

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.

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

The Kind Of Thing JZ and I Fight About
(on the way home from the local Rep house where we watched Bell, Book and Candle)
Me: "Have you seen 'I Married A Witch'? Frederick March and Veronica Lake."
JZ: "No, I've never seen that."
Me: "Man, I love Frederick March. What are your five favorite Frederick March movies? Mine are: Nothing Sacred, Best Years Of Our Lives, I Married A Witch, Dr. Jekyll and Hyde - He's the best Hyde ever..."
JZ: "Actually, I like Spencer..."
Me: "Do NOT tell me you prefer Spencer Tracy's Hyde! No way!"
JZ: "I liked his physicality..."
Me: "WHAT? Physicality?! Frederick March is like a punk rock gorilla in that movie. He's way more physical than Spencer Tracy. I think you must have watched another movie. I think you have spoonerism of the brain and watched a movie with Mederick Farch instead. This can't be right."
JZ: "Hey, I'm not your little bobble-headed acolyte shadow girl who's going to nod her head in agreement with your every opinion."
Me: "This is not a matter of opinion. This is a matter of demonstrable fact. All you are doing is convincing me that your critical faculties have shrunken to the size of a...a withered currant."
JZ: "If I have to stake my identity on Spencer Tracy then so be it."

I can't even.
I feel compelled to say that anyone who can turn a phrase like that ain't nobody's bobble-head. Spicy brains!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
If I have to stake my identity on Spencer Tracy then so be it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Timelies!
Details on the vacation in Natter.
I've only seen Barrymore's and Tracy's Jekyll and Hyde. I think I prefer Barrymore.
And March and Lake did have great chemistry in I Married a Witch.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm most amused by this question:
Man, I love Frederick March. What are your five favorite Frederick March movies?
Because I have NO idea who in the hell he is. So the over-the-top-ness of not just loving the dude, but then rattling off 5 favorite movies, makes me laugh.
This is not a matter of opinion. This is a matter of demonstrable fact. All you are doing is convincing me that your critical faculties have shrunken to the size of a...a withered currant.
Hec has bogarted ALL the bossiness EVER.

A good joke is worth repeating....
