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 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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It's like Die Hard, except in a building, and with a frickin shark...

Samuel L. Jackson already did a shark movie. He'll probably want to avoid getting typecast.

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

Oh, tears of laughter. I want to see Tigers on a Zeppelin, just to find out whether the elf pirates swoop in during the last rel to save everybody.

Oh the elfmanity!!

Don't forget about the Lumiere Brothers' classic short Beeves On a Heliotrope.

That poster is hilarious. We got motherfuckin' snakes!

This movie cannot possibly live up to the hype-- there's just no way.

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

Perhaps it will live down to it.

I strongly suspect the hype will be the best part of the movie.
