We noticed that, as well.
However, I thought the pond went on too long (as so much of the film did). Seriously. Eventually even ape-butt gets cold.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Hey. New board.
So, since Monday, I have seen Kong, Narnia, Geisha, and re-watched Love, Actually and Pirates of the Caribbean. In order of David-Love (from least-loved to most-loved) these movies go:
5) Geisha
4) Pirates
3) Kong
2) Narnia
1) Love
But I do quite like all of them. Pirates and Kong may switch places after the novelty wears off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Talk about retreading holy ground:
According to IGN.com, writer/director Peter Farrelly (The Perfect Catch) is making progress on his update of The Three Stooges. "It will be an old time matinee feeling," he explains, "And we're thinking of going with complete unknowns or whoever the best actors are - Benicio Del Toro has expressed interest in playing Moe. Jeff Daniels has expressed some interest in playing Larry."
The script is made up of four 20-minute episodes with all the action set in the present day. "The first episode is them growing up in an orphanage...[and] ends with them as adults," says Mr F. "We want to shoot it in March and we want it out a year from now."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hmmmm. I could see Jack Black as Curly...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
They should recreate the original actors using CGI.
(I just wanna see how bad it would turn out.)

I'd be really upset if it turned out to be crap. They already did a made for TV movie that was actually quite good, with Evan Handler as Larry Fine, Michael Chiklis as Curly, and John Kassir as Shemp.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Inspired; I could immediately picture Chiklis doing Curly's classic wide-eyed, slack-mouthed "Huh?" expression.
I still call the very idea of this film sacrilege, but I have to bow to you on this point.

Is that Ultraviolet related to the British TV series?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
DH got a phone call about 3/4 through Brothers Grimm, so we've turned it off. I really want to like it, but...it makes no sense. Even in a Terry Gilliam universe, it makes no sense.
