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.

"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.

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

You didn't see it either, huh, Matt? I seem to have blocked the ads entirely.

Brokeback Squadron.

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.

Did Snakes on a Plane have Air Supply music? I think not.

Yeah, but Snakes on a Plane has Samuel Motherfuckin' L. Jackson.
