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.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

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.
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.

After seeing her in two previous superhero movies? Oh dear God, no. The commercials were traumatic enough.

Is it good or bad that the Slither trailer made me laugh until tears came to my eyes?
I do think that's the goal, but as much as I love Nathan, I can't get past my slugphobia. Fast-moving slugs in bathubs are just more than I can stand.

The Slither trailer was hilarious!
I'll pass on the movie, though. The trailer was enough. I doubt the film will be an improvement.

I suspect that I'll see Slither. Not sure if I'll spring to see it in the theater--it may be a "rent the dvd so I can make mocking noises in my living room" kind of thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Will Slither be better than Snakes on a Plane ?
Probably not.

Well, it's not as high concept, but I suspect more of the humour will be intentional.
