Maybe the CGI was too expensive to bring the character back?
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aimée, I'm guessing IMDB only has the big ones this early on.

you're saying that my whitefonting of Bruce Willis getting shot in the first ten minutes was perhaps a little excessive and silly?
Nope. Just that I'd be surprised if anyone here both cared and didn't know.
I'd be surprised if anyone would care to be protected from what I whitefonted too, but I still did it.

I hope so.
I *really* liked Colossus. What a kick ass mutation.

I like how your [edit: ita's] cutting and pasting totally destroyed the whitefonted part. I think that's only appropriate, considering.

I started to tag it, and got lazy.
I'm rebuking (also chastising, but no spanking, that would be odd) myself right now.

I like both Identity and The Game.
Identity did give me the "Oh god, does every movie need a twist?" feeling at first, but I saw it again and decided it was a pretty cool movie. Plus, John Cusack.

I like twists that make the movie make more sense, rather than less. Like, that one bit of information triggers a kind of backwards awareness of what came before, changing your perception of the whole. The twists that are just tacked on to the ends of things for the sake of it annoy me. I prefer "Oooh" to "huh?", I guess.
I'm also slightly worried about the X-Men 3 thing. Gambit and Angel are two of the characters I've been most looking forward to seeing because, well, I'm shallow and they're hot. I'm going to take some convincing on the Angel as a chick thing. I'm excited about Beast and Gambit though.

George Lucas has described his final Star Wars movie, Episode III -- The Revenge of the Sith, as "Titanic in space." Speaking to the ShoWest convention in Las Vegas, Lucas said that the new film was "not like the old Star Wars ... This one's a little bit more emotional." Later, Lucas was asked by the Associated Press whether fans would accept a film so different from the old Star Wars. "I feel that I've made the movie the best I can and it turned out the way I wanted it to be, so I'm happy," Lucas replied. "I never try to anticipate what the world's going to think or even worry about whether they're going to like it or not. That's not my job, to make people like my movies. They either like them or they don't. That's completely out of my hands."
