I did fall asleep twice for a few minutes each time
Sean, did you fall asleep because of the movie, or other reasons (such as lack of sleep the night before)?
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

That had nothing to do with the movie. I got less sleep the night before than I'd wanted to, it was a midnight showing (and ROWDY at that, a whole bunch of punk kids who should have been AT HOME, IN BED), and it was spacious, comfy stadium seats.

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

Oh, you know they would have been camping out on your lawn.

Another upside, I'm getting more and more hopeful that Superman Returns will be incredible.
Previews (aside from SR) -- Ghost Rider, which.... I just don't know, man. I just don't know.
My Super Ex-Girlfriend, which I think will be nice and funny.
Some other stuff that's not quite leaping into my brain right now.

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

Based on what? The trailers have looked mostly lame to me so far (there was a scene with Supes being shot in the eye that was cool, but that's it).

That Bryan Singer poured all the love and attention that should have gone to X-3 into SR instead.

Really? Each new one has made me more and more excited.

They just look like angst to me, and not the cool Batman angst. Also, I think the actors (except for Spacey) look really stupid. In a not-bright way.
I do like Singer a lot, but SR is burrowing down to a rental right now, pending actual reviews.

That was a possibility I hadn't quite considered. I can see how that might suck, but for now I'm still hopeful.

Yeah, but I'm okay with that. The Big Blue Boy Scout has never needed lots of brains. And frankly, with the trailer I saw for the first time last night, Spacey looks like he'll be worth the price of admission alone.

But he has them. He's all up in the Kryptonian tech. He's not supposed to be stupid. But more important, he's not supposed to be emo. And that's what I'm feeling.

Bwah-ha-ha-ha! Oh, that description is going to make me snicker all day.
