'Objects In Space'


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

Laughter at the convenience of the glowy red "destroy humanity" setting the robots are given?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Wow. I wouldn't have expected humanity destroying from a kids movie.

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

IJS.

I meant within the movies plot, not that the movie itself was spawned from the lower depths of hell.

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

I suppose you could argue that there's a subtext to that movie that says, I am Barney, destroyer of worlds.

Oops, I misread and thought Perkins was asking about I, Robot.

You know, I thought that sounded a lot more interesting than the 5 minutes I did sit through.

That would be a hilarious movie though. All sappy, sentimental G-rated kid's stuff for the first half hour and then the bloody Robot Revolution begins!

I can't even.

Anybody seen Code 46, a Tim Robbins/Samantha Morton futuristic movie from 2003? I was flicking channels last night and caught most of it and found it kind of haunting and interesting. Major cool points for having Mick Jones of the Clash singing Should I Stay or Should I Go in the karaoke bar.
