I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Some stuff from one of the "Snakes on a Blog" sites that cracked me up:

I don't think that Snakes on a Plane has a tagline yet. ("Harry Potter 4: The Time Has Come", "Raiders of the Lost Ark: The return of the great adventure") What should "Snakes on a Plane"'s tagline be? Obviously "Snakes on a Plane: there are motherfucking snakes on the motherfucking plane" is everyone's first choice, but they can't print that on movie posters.

I'm partial to Sam Jackson's own "Snakes on a Plane: either you want to see this movie or you don't". Simple, direct message. "This movie is going to be so good that we'll already be selling out theaters and turning people away".

Other ideas:

"Snakes on a Plane: The final battle between ancient reptiles and modern aviation."
"Snakes on a Plane: Some luggage is better lost."
"Snakes on a Plane: Your in-flight entertainment is DANGER."
"Snakes on a Plane: What you see is what you get."
"Snakes on a Plane: Did we mention Samuel Jackson? Oh yes we did."

I think we need a SoaP thread....

More Soap: Snakes on Serenity (fanfic): [link]

I'm too afraid to read it. Instead I will xpost with Firefly.

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

This SoaP comic made me laugh and laugh some more: [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Snakes are insane!

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

Breaking news: Basic Instinct II sucks.

"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

Breaking news: Basic Instinct II sucks.

I think they're counting on Sharon Stone's recent appearances drawing in the train wreck audience.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Wow. SLITHER's got 91% @ Rotten Tomatoes, with a decent volume of reviews. Even some of the supposed negative reviews (Ebert's is a good example) are on the positive side when you read them in full.

SLUGS IN YOUR FACE may trump SNAKES ON A PLANE if the audience responds likewise.

eta Guess I'll x-post in the Firefly thread.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

A tongue-in-cheek interview with Nathan Fillion and Elizabeth Banks re. Slither: [link]

It's quite funny. Almost makes me want to go see the movie. And Nathan uses the word "oversexified," which totally made my morning. I love that he's incorporated Firefly-speaks into his regular speech.
