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.

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.

Just got back from seeing Slither. It was a fun romp, and my prior impression of it being a combo of John Carpenter's the Thing and Night of the Creeps was dead on target. Just a warning to squeamish folks, it's grosser than anything that's been filmed since the first of those movies. Don't eat anything less bland than soda crackers before you go see it.

NYTimes article on the company that did the LotR weapons replicas.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

OMG - has anyone seen the TBS commercials for LotR?

Why, Nathan, why?!?

Ugh, I can't believe I'm going to have to go see this movie. I can't believe they're even making this movie after the first one proved to be utterly craptastic.

eta: Of course, immediately afterwards I ran across these photos, so Nathan can consider my presence in the theater bought and paid for.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Having spent a happy few minutes browsing through that LJ entry Matt linked to, I have discovered that there exists a movie where Sean Bean kisses another guy.

WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS? I feel that all of fandom has failed me.

Edit: *and* Clive Owen? This is the best LJ post ever.

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

Jaysus. That's every man that ever kissed another man without it being gay porn. Right there. Must send link to sister.
