I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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.

sumi, I think most of them have been taken down, but this one is still up, possibly because it's a slightly different version than the one that was published in Close Range, or possibly because it's a non-U.S. site.

So, if I was going to netflix Apocalypse Now, should I go for the original or the Redux? Or both?

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

Definitely the original -- all the Redux-added scenes did was make it longer.

I agree. I thought the Redux was interesting in the context of having seen the original way too many times, but it definitely shouldn't be your first experience of the movie.

Definitely agree with this.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hee:

Tom Hanks has admonished critics of his new movie The Da Vinci Code of making "a very big mistake." The actor hit out at the Catholic backlash the film has received ahead of its worldwide release next week, insisting it is much more than a religious rant. He told London's Evening Standard newspaper, "We always knew there would be a segment of society that would not want this movie to be shown. But the story we tell is loaded with all sorts of hooey and fun kind of scavenger-hunt-type nonsense. If you are going to take any sort of movie at face value, particularly a huge-budget motion picture like this, you'd be making a very big mistake. It's a damn good story and a lot of fun... all it is is dialogue. That never hurts."

I love how he gets right to the heart of it and the reason why it should be a fun movie to see.

Now tagless for your comfort.

While on vacation, I found this adorable paperback version of the short story (in a Walgreen's in San Juan) and quickly bought it up. Christopher and I both read it and loved it.

I don't know when or where War Tapes will be opening, but if/when it does open anywhere near anyone, GO SEE IT. It's an amazingly well put-together film, and the firsthand footage is just incredible to see.

Watched The Chronic{what}cles of Narnia. When Aslan is leaving Caer Paravel, walking along the beach, did anyone else think "That was when I carried you?"
