I don't know why any other movie is coming out this year. There's no point.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

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

I think I'm in love with its brazen badness.
To paraphrase the NYT review of The Producers (the stage vesion):
"Never have I seen a movie preview so drunk on its own power to convey schlocky badness...."

Loved the take on Brokeback Mountain, but being the medieval lit geek that I am, I'm in awe that he managed to slash Chaucer and the Pearl-poet.

William Gibson's review of V for Vendetta, from his blog:
Just back from V FOR VENDETTA. More thumbs up than a Chernobyl pianist. Superb. Splendid. Heartening. Go see.

It seems to have gotten mixed reviews so far.
However, "More thumbs up than a Chernobyl pianist" is teh awesome....
