It'd probably be a thriller that left you hanging at the end.
As would its sequel, THE MODIFIER.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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.
They are having problems coming up with new Trek ideas.
They should do a movie that's all meta. It'd be about the making of a new Star Trek movie. But this is the twist - the outer movie (with the director, cast, studio, etc.) takes place in an alternate universe that's run by Borg. The movie-within-the-movie takes place in the regular Trek-verse. So it'd be a bunch of Borg making a movie about human and Vulcan Federation folk. It will be a dark comedy....
OK, who's gonna finance me?

Hey. New board.
Heh. William Shatner soundtrack. I love Shatner's album, that one, that was good. It had those songs on it. Yeah.

What in the hell? I was looking at J.J. Abrams's IMDbiography, and I had no idea he'd written so many movies! Taking Care of Business, Regarding Henry, Forever Young, Gone Fishin', Armageddon... all before Felicity, and then he even did Joy Ride. I always thought he appeared out of the ether for Felicity and was making a big jump to movies now.

Warner Home Video has begun trial sales in China of a movie DVD priced at just Rmb12 ($1.50), a move likely to anger consumers in developed markets such as Europe and the US, who typically pay $20-$30 for a recently released film on DVD.
The test sales of the modestly packaged edition of the The Aviator mark one of the boldest efforts yet by an international film company – WHV's Chinese joint venture, CAV Warner – to adjust its marketing strategies to the potentially huge but piracy-plagued Chinese DVD market.
The "simple pack" edition of the Oscar-winning epic, which comes in a cardboard folder rather than the standard DVD plastic box, went on sale earlier this month in selected Chinese cities, said Christine Hu, CAV Warner public relations manager.
Not that I really want my DVDs with no extras in a cardboard sleeve, but damn, if this is even a viable option for Warner, we American customers must be getting really ripped off.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The price point probably takes American sales into account. But I see what you mean... if they can make a profit off $1.50, what's the marginal overhead here?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But I see what you mean... if they can make a profit off $1.50, what's the marginal overhead here?I don't know if you can presume they're making a profit. They're probably trying to establish the market first. Short term loss for long term plans seems possible.
