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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

God, that show ran for four seasons?

Not that I watched it or anything.

"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

There was already a TV movie made of Knight Rider back in, what, 1992?, set in the year 2000. It was fantastic/bad.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Can you name that kiss?

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.

All I remember about is KITT accidentally tasered James Doohan and them installing KITT's computer into a classic car for some reason.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Can you name that kiss?

I totally know 16!!! It's a really bad Colin Farrell movie. And I'm not talking about Alexander, either.

move out and draw fire

Hm. 1, 4, 5, 9, 17, 26 for sure. (And I know I've seen 8 and 23, but can't make the title come to mind).

That's either a testament to the type of movies I (don't) watch, or how memorable I find the kissing.

on edit: Remembered 8 (oddly popular DVD here), and finally came up with the real title for That Oh-So-Important-Movie-That-Everyone-Liked-But-Me. And for some reason my mind kept avoiding looking at 7.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

I knew 1, 3, 7, 9, 15, 17, 23, 25, 30, 31. The funny part is, half of them I haven't seen, I just guessed from the characters.

off to update netflix queue...

"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

I knew 1, 5, 7, 9, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 21, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30, 31, and 33. Was wrong about 3 though.

They should have included the kiss from Dude, Where's My Car?

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

The Fall of Tom Cruise

Hollywood frets over the weak opening of Mission: Impossible III.

...Hollywood is left pondering who can still legitimately be called a movie star. Last year, the late Radar magazine conducted a (never-published) survey of agents, producers, and executives. One question was, "Who is the industry's most desirable actor?" Even then, Cruise was not the favorite. "I don't think it's the couch-jumper any more," the head of one studio division said at the time. Brad Pitt won almost by default even though he is hardly a sure thing (Troy, Fight Club, Meet Joe Black), while second place went to Will Smith.

Many of those polled struggled to come up with names. "Is Pixar a man or a woman?" asked a producer after groping for answers. "A Pixar image is the single most compelling image."

"There is nobody who's a star," said one marketing executive. "There are a lot of good-looking people—but they're not movie stars." And that may go a long way toward explaining what Anderson Cooper is doing on the cover of this month's Vanity Fair.
