Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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.

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

Considering the director got his start in Tromaville, I'd say it's at least an appropriate response.

I'm thinking good myself, Gris. It looks unbelievably disgusting. And funny as hell.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Oh, dear Jesus, that was wrong. Hilarious, but so very, very wrong.

I was already planning on seeing it for Nathan Fillion, but the trailers sealed the deal.

Wrong in the wrongest of ways that wrong can be.
I loved Tremors. But this one ups the goo-factor a bit past what I think I can stomach in the theatre. Netflix, it will have to be.

John Rogers on Catwoman:
Holy --two years worth of Catwoman notes. And right on top, the mission statement I sent to them when I took over the script. Dated 2/6/01. What's typed, literally in 24 pt boldfaced Arial and underlined, I shit you not, right there on the front page?
"No hyper-reality pop crap."
Wow. That went exactly as planned. Oh, look there's the section where I talk about how the suit should be functional for her thievery, and she should wear lug boots. Yes, yes, it all fell into place. Hmm, let me count these ...
... 169 pages. Most single spaced. About an inch of notes, and I know this isn't all of them. I have another set, the later ones, in my home office. So all in all, two inches of Catwoman notes.
Just goes to show you, the old saying is true. It's no easier to make a bad movie than a good one. Sometimes, it's even harder.
I didn't see the movie -- what was the "hyper-reality pop crap"?

"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
The commercials had that part about her transitioning to the motorcycle ride that looked eerily like a similar scene in Brittney Spears' "Toxic" video.
