In that both are laughable? I'm just saying.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anyone participate in the Hollywood Stock Exchange?

I used to. Had a friend who worked IT there. Got bored with it eventually, mostly because everybody else made bookoo HSX bucks, and I could never make any.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I've been doing it since 2002. On and off. It's more fun during the summer.

Man, ita, I had totally forgotten about that until you mentioned it. I'm up by quite a bit of money. Though David Boreanaz has lost me a lot of money. Good thing he's pretty.

"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 local film critic completely panned Lucky Number Slevin, but in so doing ensured my attendance with this passage:
The only real surprise here is why so many esteemed actors are willing to play second banana to Josh Hartnett, who stars as Slevin, a young man who spends much of the early part of the film covered only with a bath towel and the blood from his broken nose after gangsters kidnap him from a New York apartment.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I just saw the blowsy, gritty Pride & Prejudice remake. I'm sort of ambivalent about it. The only feeling I resolved is about the costuming. Realizing it must be set before the height of the Regency period so I'm now less bothered by the lower waist lines of the country fashions, as opposed to the higher ones of the elegant ladies. But I still think boy-chested Keira Knightly looks ghastly in the dresses.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was ambivalent about Keira, but decided that Matthew MacFadyen was welcome to save my family from ruin any time.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I also liked the attemt to make the parents less cartoony thn they often are in film adaptations.

That was one of the things I loved about it. I loved Brenda Blethyn and Donald Sutherland as Mr. & Mrs. Bennet. They were so much less comtemptible. And Matthew MacFayden, while he could never make me forget Colin Firth, did a first rate job.
