I finally got my brother hyped for Snakes on a Plane. I'm so pleased that I now have someone to see it with.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

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.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

Art Crawl!!!
I want to understand how the premise of The Lake House works. . . I mean -- she's in an alternate reality that's just two months apart from him? Is that it?

My feeling is that maybe he found a datebook or something of hers?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
2 years, but yeah, that seems to be it, at least according to the trailers. He's in her house, 2 years earlier than her reality.
I'll see it, because the premise seems at least to guarantee an interesting train wreck, and because I am Hopeless Keanu Fangirl. He had me at "I bought a house...by the lake." (Also because there's a good chance I can see it for free. It's really amazing how low one's standards can get when you don't have to plunk down $10 for it.)

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I've seen 3 movies this weekend and still managed to not see X-men 3. I'm skipping the white font till I do.
I saw Da Vinci, Thank you for smoking and Kinky Boots. I enjoyed them all. I think KB was the most satisfiying.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Finally saw X-Men - have nothing to add. Except I was stuck waiting for the Worlds Slowest Concessions persion, so I missed the preview for SOAP!!!!
I think an angry letter to management is in order....

move out and draw fire
X3 opened in Greece the same day it opened in the States, which is always a bad sign. When you can't afford to let word of mouth run before your international release....
I am concerned about the new Blade Runner. Specifically, the fact that I can't think of a Ridley Scott film in recent memory that I thought was good makes me wonder if the director Scott is now should be allowed to fuck with the work of the director Scott was then.
Wow. That's some sentence construction. I blame jet lag.

Link to official SOAP teaser. (I can't play it here at work, but all that means is that IT hasn't upgraded our media software since dinsaurs roamed the earth. Which is odd, since we're a media company, but that's another rant for another day.)

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
Saw X3 over the weekend as well, and found it disappointing for many of the reasons listed above. I continue to find Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart the hottest things in the movie.
What's most important, though, is that SOAP opens on my birthday. Best gift from the universe ever!

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.
