Kevin Costner never made another movie.
Hugs TIN CUP close
Ron Shelton really did get the best out of Costner. It's a shame the same couldn't be said of Sam Raimi.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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."
When Bing Crosby would screw up a take while recording a song, he would habitually use blue language, including "fuck," not just in reaction to the mess-up but also by continuing singing with the words laced into the lyrics, so that the recording guys would destroy that take instead of keeping it and making bootleg copies of the botched version.
Oh man, somebody should have bootlegged them anyway. That would be hysterical to hear now.
They are available on the essential Celebrities At Their Worst compilation by Nick Bougas. I've got them around here somewhere. When I find them I'll post Bing's blown takes. There's also the unfuckinbelievable Earl Weaver going off in a post-game show about the uselessness of "team speed" when you just need a "big cocksucker who can hit the ball out."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Now Earl Weaver was a poet.
And possibly also a hooplehead.

Okay, Earl's up at Buffistarawk. I threw in Ernie Anderson (aka, Ghoulardi) who was the voice for ABC in the early 70s. His sound editor ran all his cockups together into one glorious profane spew.
Bing's on disc 2 which isn't on my computer and I've got to locate it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Though it should be noted that there's some funky perspective going on in that picture; in the actual film, Grace is a good few inches taller than Ava. Which is weird and disconcerting, because Ava's presence is so vividly large that it doesn't seem possible that some willowy blonde could just pop up and loom over her. Ava should loom. It just isn't right that she should be loomed over (except by Clark).

Consequently, I just emailed that to you.

So you did. YAY, and thank you!

Thrive to spite them
Last night I heard a rumor that The Seven Samurai is going to be remade. Has anyone else heard about this?
