Dean Devlin can bite my shiny metal ass. I love the changes they made to make the tv series.
Exactly my thought. I laughed when I heard him distance himself on the commentary track.
It's not genius TV, but it's eminently and enjoyable watchable.
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

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.

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

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I was very convincing in that sex scene with Radha Mitchell, huh?
Silly, silly boy. You are P-C where Patricia Clarkson is obviously PC. Shah!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, P-C does not like to be called PC, except when it suits him.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, P-C does not like to be called PC, except when it suits him.
This holds for many aspects of my personality.
(In truth, I ask not to be called PC, but people do it anyway; thus, I feel justified in abusing this fact whenever possible.)

I love the changes they made to make the tv series.
What changes was he complaining about? Other than the obvious casting changes?
(Although I admit to preferring the original Shau'ri of the movie to the woman they cast as Sha're in the show.)

Hey. New board.
Tonight was a Sideways, Finding Neverland double-header.
MY GOD.
Loved them both.
Both in top 10. Probably top 5. Of 2004.
MMMMM.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Exactly my thought. I laughed when I heard him distance himself on the commentary track.
Haven't listened to the commentary track on my copy of the Ultimate Edition but I read his criticism in an interview in a magazine. He was claiming at the time (circa 2002) that they were going to make sequels that would draw the original story back to where [t]he[y] wanted it to go originally. Dream on, monkey boy, that riverboat floated away a long time ago.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I went to see Ocean's Twelve today.
I walked out about 3/4 the way through it.
You are a smart man, Mr. S. Not even the inclusion of Eddie Izzard made it worth my matinee ticket price. The Julia Roberts as Julia Roberts meta bullshit was total watch-from-the-hall material. And, oh -- not funny. At all.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
The Clooney/Damon Sox vs. Yankees thing helped redeem it for me. I will never say it was a great film, but for me, it was a watchable one, and the sort of mental cotton candy I needed at the end of a long day.
But the Julia Roberts thing? Criminally stupid.
