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.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Black was Oldman? I blame my girlfriend's smallish TV that's a good distance from the couch, as I totally didn't recognize him.

Last weekend GF returned the favor of me hooking her on Firefly by having me watch the Harry Potter movies with her. I enjoyed them and suppose I really will have to read the books now.

My one issue with the films is that Radcliffe sounds eerily like Warwick Davis, especially when he yells, which leads to a weird disconnect at points.

I watched the first two movies before reading the books, then saw the other movies after reading.
