Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Still love me some Joan, though!

Have you ever seen A Woman's Face? She's great in that.

I TiVoed the last Matt Helm movie The Wrecking Crew because I'd never seen it. I usually watch these on FF and stop for scenes of interest. I know it's ridiculous to note but they're jarringly sexist - even for this genre. Lots of gorgeous women in this one though. Tina Louise looking way hotter than she ever was as Ginger. Elke Sommer at her physical peak. Amazing body. Nancy Kwan - supersleek and groovy. And I couldn't place the fourth female, who played Helm's ditzy fellow agent Freya Carlson. I kept thinking, "God, she's beautiful even with the weird wig. How come I've never seen her in anything else. Women that beautiful usually wind up in a lot of movies."

It was Sharon Tate.

God, that's depressing, Hec. Thanks.

That's part of the reason I have a really hard time watching The Fearless Vampire Killers.

Ann, that's a ferret.

The Break-Up is NOT the light-hearted comedy being sold in the trailers.

Jessica, I've heard it compared to The War of the Roses. Any thoughts?

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

I actually have never seen War of the Roses (I know, I know...) so I can't really comment.

Hey, Jessica, got the email from Mr. PMoon.

Great!

The DH is sick, so we've been watching a lot of movies this week. Just watched Panic Room. I'd been avoiding it because I thought it would stress me out, but really, there was just far too much Stupidity Factor for me to do anything other than MST3K it.

Cool camera tricks though.

Seeing as how we have no thread for tv other than sci fi or certain particular shows, I thought I'd mention here that word has come down from HBO that while Season 4 of Deadwood is impossible at this point, David Milch will make two 2-hr movies to finish things out.

This week is Deadwood week on Matt Zoller Seitz's blog. Great stuff!
