Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.
There's a review of Sin City up at AICN--a bit spoilery, but if you've read the books (which I haven't) or are pretty familiar with the storyline (which I am), you're okay. Very positive review!!
I just like the concept of the protagonists attempting to not make any ethical decisions and yet continually being forced into situations that demand ethical responses.
I also very much liked the slo-mo gun fight, that was quite deliberate in showing that - this BANG, BANG, and BANG over here makes this hole, this hole, and this hole over here, killing this person dead.
wrod.
Joss is doing Wonder Woman.
How do we start lobbying him to cast Gina Torres in the lead.
Well, since he's worked with her before, I doubt he'll be that tough to convince. We'll mostly have to worry about convincing the suits at whichever studio to agree to it.
Man, I hope studio high muckety-mucks don't step in and give us "Paris Hilton IS Wonder Woman!!!"
Maybe...maybe...Laurence will go in there...and he'll, like, he'll beat up the muckity mucks until they say, "YES! Gina Torres! OF COURSE!!"
I'd rather watch that than the movie.
(Hee. Me too! Specially if a Weinstein. Not cause I don't like them, but seeing Larry kick the shit outta Bob W. would be funny. They could sell tickets and make back what they lost on "Kate & Leopold")
