Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

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.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Haha, Raq, isn't that who he always plays?

Ooh, I forgot the other thing I was going to say about MiIII (I have no idea where the colon goes anymore)... I was so impressed that Jonathan Rhys-Meyers finally seemed almost straight! I only slightly slashed him with Ethan! He finally doesn't look quite like a little boy. And the part where he's sweaty and arguing in Italian ? Mmmm. I think he's got some major BBoC factor.

Oh dear. I'm really not sure about this.

Weitz is back for His Dark Materials.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am just about to start reading that series! My first-ish foray into fantasy!

Well, fantasy books, anyway.

Er...books classified as fantasy.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Harry Potter isn't classified as fantasy?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I always thought of the series as children to young adult.

But, now that I think about it, His Dark Materials is for the same age range, huh?

Nevermind. Cancel the fantasy novel exploring. Still reading children's books.

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

YA Fantasy, but wholeheartedly fantasy.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I actually have His Dark Materials books, but I've heard so much about Pullman's abrasive anti-Christianity crusade that I've been reluctant to start on the books. Not that I'm that religious myself, but I dislike knowing that the author/director has an agenda to push in advance. If there is an agenda, I'd rather discover it myself on my own.

move out and draw fire

Well, with The Golden Compass, you'd only need to read about 2 pages before twigging to that particular agenda.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well, there goes my only chance of seeing it.
