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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have a plan.
How about Monica Bellucci?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I should have said "action" cred. But I think Famke Janssen is too European to sell WW. Rebecca Romijn, OTOH, I think she has buzz.

Matt, do you need it to be campy? Can't it just be fraught?
Oh, I'll be happy with the fraught. I just think that unlike the previous two Batmans (Batmen?), Bale could actually make Schumaker-style campiness good. I'm not looking for King Tut to be the next big villain, though.
Oh my god. Demi Moore is going to be Wonder Woman, isn't she.
After seeing the Charlie's Angels sequel, I don't have as many objections to this as most seem to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aimée, you need to sell it.
In my head, Romijn and Janssen are equally European, but it is often true my lack of cultural granularity has no bearing in reality.
I can't imagine Monica Belluci moving quickly.
Oh, Jessica Alba could do it ... Carrie Ann Moss has some cred, although she's leaner than I envision Diana.
I just pictured Michelle Rodriguez as WW -- try it. It's good for a laugh.

I do recall having an extended debate, during the recent airing of G. I. Jane, about whether breast implants would explode if one jumped out of an airplane at high enough altitude.
Sounds like a job for Mythbusters.
I could live with Romjin or Jennsen for WW.

Poor, degraded Buster.

Oh my god. Demi Moore is going to be Wonder Woman, isn't she.
I don't think Demi has that much box office clout anymore (if she ever really did).
Sounds like a job for Mythbusters.
Either that or Titbusters.

Up with the sun
Did anybody see the Slate article about the stupidest twist endings? It's funny, even if I don't agree with all of the opinions expressed. (Specifically, I liked "Fight Club" and "The Usual Suspects" and think I liked "The Game," but mostly don't remember it that well.)
My least favorite twists are "Identity" and "The Life of David Gale," but the latter is a very bad movie to start with.
Edit: Actually, the twist in "Hide and Seek" trumps all of the above. I'd blocked it out, that's how bad it was.
Edit the second: There are some spoilers in the article, so proceed at your own risk.
