Thanks! I think I'm fresh out of Gladiator jokes, though.

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.

Oh, nice.
Although in that case, surely Hannibal should be the next one?
The conversation has moved long past, but another Usual Suspects with Kevin Spacey sounds totally doable. Sure, he won't be playing Vergil Kint, but isn't anyone interested in how a guy who looks like Kevin Spacey got the reputation of Keyser Soze? A prequel or a sequel that focuses on Keyser Soze. I mean, that whole character came into focus in the last five minutes of the movie, and was the most interesting part of it.
The Empire Strikes Back
and
Roman Holiday
may be my favorites.

No, not really. I'm completely comfortable with the myth. Don't wawnt to know about his home life or his childhood traumas.
That's how I feel about Batman!
Keyser Soze is Bruce Wayne's brother.
Batman is a childhood trauma -- if you don't want to know, it's the whole character that doesn't interest you. Keyser doesn't need to be so defined. The Batman persona falls apart (or becomes another character) without it.
