after Moore refused to make changes to the Pern mythos that he thought would harm its integrity.
Well, they wanted to replace the dragons with nubile twentysomethings who just happened to breathe fire.
There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

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.

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.
So I'm surprisingly excited about taking the girlfriend to see X3 tomorrow, even though I'm still concerned it's going to suck.
I'm hoping we get a poster shot of Cyclops, Jean, Beast and Angel at some point as a little fannish nod at some point during the film since it's the first movie they're all in.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm doing the same, Kalshane. Well, okay, not with a girlfriend. But going with trepidation tomorrow.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I was going to try and talk SA into going tomorrow night or Saturday matinee.

I'm going to a matinee tomorrow. Took the day off of work to have a 4-day weekend and then realized "Hey, X3 comes out that day." So tomorrow is X3 followed by buying stuff for my LARP. I get to teach the girlfriend how to make padded swords which is one of those "My God, we're both giant dorks" moments.
Peter David (writer of comics and whatnot) got to see an advanced screening and enjoyed it. [link] (His review is spoiler-free for all but the most pure, I can't vouch for the reader comments after, though, as I intentionally didn't read them just in case.) He also advises waiting until after the end credits.

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

Thanks for the Peter David review, Kalshane! It sounds like it's at least a fun movie. I'm excited now.

You're welcome. It certainly allays my worries somewhat.
