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.

probably. Well, Sean, I was late to the party with Oz and watched it on video...I saw Dr. Skoda first. On that basis, Schillinger blew my mind.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

So this morning I heard they're planning an Ocean's Thirteen.

Is there any truth to the idea that it will take place on an orbiting casino?

I hope the radio folks were just kidding.

Whitefonted in the hopes that I can ignore it.

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 hope it's true.

There can also be snakes....

You know what'd be cooler than snakes on a space station ? Snakes on a space station - in zero G!

Didn't Jerry Orbach guest as an attorney in one of the early seasons?

Yep. And S. Epatha was a victim's mother in Season One. I like watching L&O for the recurring defense attorneys, myself. My favorite is Danielle something, played by Tovah Feldshuh, who is an excellent actress (she's great as Liev Schrieber's mom in A Walk on the Moon).

He's also the voice of the yellow M&M.

And Billy "Phillip J. Fry" West is the voice of Red.

I saw Dr. Skoda first. On that basis, Schillinger blew my mind.

I can only imagine, erika. "Hey look! It's Dr. Skoda in pris.... Oh. My. God."

And S. Epatha was a victim's mother in Season One.

Heh. I was going to point that out too, Kathy, but you beat me to it.

move out and draw fire

You know what'd be cooler than snakes on a ---

Isn't this pretty much the plot of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sequel? And the snakes can all spell out SCRAM with their bodies.

And he made Officer Thormann from Homicide his bitch and stuff...he was good, but yikes. Actually,that's kind of what I think of Oz in general. Can't fault the writing or the acting, except for a certain lack of subtlety, but at the same time, hard to say I really *liked* it.I am a total McManus, though, except for never having gotten laid during a riot. Although I'm a little younger than he is.

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

My BF just heard of SoaP yesterday. Somehow, he completely missed that boat, I don't know how. But now he's going around comparing his thinking before Snakes on a Plane to the experience of Thomas Aquinas, who famously had a vision late in life that forced him to stop writing, comparing all his prior writings to mere "straw."

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

My best friend was pissed at Snakes On A Plane. She thought it was horrible that they were trying to create a cult classic. That it should be a natural thing that can't be forced.

I tried to explain to her that it was already a cult classic--that they were trying to make sure it stayed that way once people had seen it.

She remained unamused.
