On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
One reason I could think of would be to make it smoother. Take a large book and made large and judicious cuts and what you get is a script with lots of noticeable stitchmarks.
Classic example -- Greta Garbo, Love. Imagine an 80-minute version of Anna Karenina. And that 80 minutes includes both endings (yes, the studio made an alternate happy ending for U.S. audiences).
Not a bad movie on its own, but strictly limited to the Anna-Vronsky story.

Salon has a review of The Corpse Bride. I expect there's a spoiler or two lurking in it: [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's quite the rave review. I expect Jilli will see it about 6 times in the theater.
So, Corpse Bride opens 9/23 in SF. Serenity and Mirrormask 9/30. Wallace & Gromit on 10/7.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
That's quite the rave review.
Eeeeeeeee! Oh, I can't wait.
I expect Jilli will see it about 6 times in the theater.
Probably. I saw Nightmare Before Christmas something like 8 or 10 times.

Probably. I saw Nightmare Before Christmas something like 8 or 10 times.
From the review, then, I expect you'll see this about the same. Or alternate viewings with Mirrormask. You may be spending a large chunk of the fall at the cinema.
Of course, you'll have to go a bit to top Kathy A's LoTR viewings.

Hey!

It's a fair cop.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Heh.
