What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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.

They're going to perform magic while dressed in tuxes, aren't they?

Yes.

I cannot wait for this movie. The book was all sorts of odd and strange, and I'm not sure how they're going to translate it to a movie, but oh! the eyecandy is going to be gorgeous.

If I only had a brain...

I'm just imagining Jackman and Bale having a smolder-off. Mmmmmmmmmm

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

frantically compiling list of celebrities to send between Jackman and Bale

What do I have to do to count as a celebrity? I'm pretty sure the immolation is a fair tradeoff.

Re: Prestige. The casting that made Jilli perk up most was that Tesla is being played by David Bowie. His assistant is being played by Andy Serkis.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ooh, Pete. That IS nice casting.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's really late here, but I wanted to post before I went to bed that Inside Man is really, really good. It's got some issues, but it's a really neat twisty little film.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Ooh! I'm glad to hear that Inside Man is good. Every time I've seen the trailer I went away really wanting to see the film.
