Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

In the comments someone points out that The Magnificent Seven is a very good remake of the movie.
Yeah, I'd assume that if it's actually happening, the idea is to change the context of the story yet again.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I watched Memoirs of a Geisha last night. Very pretty to look at but DAMN was it BORING.
I couldn't even finish Casanova in spite of the Heath Ledgery goodness. It was just too lame.
Tonight I've got The Chronicles of Narnia--which I saw part of on the plane back from Puerto Rico but I want to see it on full sized and not through listening through the crappy headset.
I'm hoping Netflix rushes me The Three Burials of Melqiades Estrada.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
They've already posted a teaser for Ratatouille, next year's Pixar movie.

t breathes out
I've been sitting on that for almost a year. One of S's friends works for Pixar. He worked on several of their films, including Incredibles (but not Cars, Pixar people have a tendancy to alternate movies). He told us about Ratatouille a while back, and swore us to secrecy. I've been just dying to talk about it.
I know next to nothing, of course, except that it's about rats in a French restaurant, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Without watching the trailer (stupid being busy!) I didn't love the title. Now that I see what it's referring to, I CAN'T WAIT.

I love how they have "how to pronounce the title" as part of the trailer.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Speaking of Pixar, I found out that the pre-Cars short will be One Man Band, which was nominated for an Oscar last year. (It was cute. Not great, but very cute.)

Ooooh.

amych, you've got to check out the teaser as soon as you can. Just the teaser alone is possibly one of the most gorgeous pieces of animation I've ever seen.
