God, that's depressing, Hec. Thanks.
That's part of the reason I have a really hard time watching The Fearless Vampire Killers.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

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.
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!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Why did this happen? A complicated set of issues that revolve around money, it would seem. The bottom line is that "Deadwood" is expensive to make, cannot possibly be cut for use elsewhere (even on ad-supported cable), would not be co-financed by any other production company in Season 4 (unlike the very expensive historical drama "Rome," where costs are offset by foreign producers other than HBO) and would require HBO to pay the "Deadwood" actors to sit around while notorious clock-killer Milch works on a different HBO series, "John From Cincinnati." Nothing dramatically new in all of that except, and this a big exception, HBO balked at paying the tab.
