Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

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.

Oooh, pretty, juliana!

Relatedly but oh so trivially, are you now also in agreement that Rachel McAdams is on teh crack for going all blonde since arriving in the US? As a brunette - cuter than a bug's ear, doesn't look quite like any other ingenue out there (possibly Kate Beckinsale 1.0.ColdComfort, a little) but does look like someone you'd know, someone you'd want to know. Blonde - pretty but shockingly generic starlet. Even Hec, who has a great eye for faces, had to stare and stare at the first blonde picture of her we saw, frowning and saying, "I know her, we've seen her in something," for almost two full minutes before he figured her out. If she's blonded herself all on her own, her manager ought to gently but firmly smack her. If her manager or another handler suggested it, I'll pay ita cash money to deliver that handler an ungentle smackdown.

Oh, shit, topic... having staggered through two-thirds of Van Helsing, I really need to rent or Tivo Cold Comfort Farm. How can the same actress possibly have played a central role in both films?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Man, you Helsing hatahs. On the other hand, the same actress has now done two Underworlds. Cold Comfort Farm and recognisability may be far in her rearview mirror.

JZ, you can borrow my copy of CCF if you want. She's hardly recognizable as the same person.

Cold Comfort Farm was actually on one of the cable channels last week. It's weird to see Clive Owen and Ian McKellan in it too.

Ian McKellen really chews his way through the entire movie. It's wonderful.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think Beckinsale turns in a respectable acting job in both Underworld movies, although they're mired in two confusing muddles of plot wherein her apparently ADD hubby reacts to any inconsistencies by whitewashing them in gunfire and speeded-up action sequences.

As for Van Helsing? I got nuthin'.

move out and draw fire

I need to see CCF. It sat around my house for months back when I first got into Buffy, so when choosing a DVD, Buffy always won over CCF. Now it's gone, away with the Roomie.

Hey. New board.

Is it good or bad that the Slither trailer made me laugh until tears came to my eyes?
