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.

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

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 dunno - the preview is pretty awsome....

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

And it's pre proper CGI.

Hey, maybe that's all they wrote.

A good article on reading movies.

I don't read movies. I don't skip ahead, and barely every replay scenes, unless it's a fight scene I need to decode.

Oldman resigned for Order of the Phoenix. . . and how did I not realize that HPOOTP's director was the same guy that directed State of Play ?

Cool. I think that OotP can make for a nice translation to the screen. There's a lot of pages, but I think it has the potential to be distilled down to a good screenplay. Also, I am looking forward to the movie version of Luna.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh good Lord. I read that as "resigned"; as in he quit the series. You almost made me cry!

Meanie.

I was looking at "resigned" as re-signed, but thinking "Wait. That means something else too. Something bad."

I'm going to blame post-concussive syndrome.

What's the term for words that mean their own opposite? Like "cleave."

I'm sorry-- I totally didn't see that until I got back here.
