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.

...and what's the deal with the shuttlecock logo?

Isn't it a mouse nose? Or am I thinking of a different logo? (Saw the trailer for it on Cars, and now I am very excited about it.)

Saw Cars yesterday, and I loved it a lot. I still put it behind Incredibles and Nemo, but I did really enjoy it. I think it has a little more of an "older" plot, as compared to a movie like Monsters Inc. (not to diss Monsters Inc., as I love that film, but the story seems a little easier to grasp for younger kids...) The subplot of appreciate our recent history i.e. Route 66 made me all teary and want to go visit out west.

I also LOVED the short. Brilliant.

Your tag here.

It is. I was just being silly.

Oooh, also, the music in Cars was excellent. Rascal Flatts and John Mayer, whee!

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.

Have now seen X2. I liked it better for about 2/3 of the movie. Then I kinda got impatient. A few things didn't make any sense, like why exactly did Jean get out of the plane, but upon further thought, I realize that it's not worth further thought.

That confused me at first too, and then on re-watch the first scene where Jean is making all the TVs and such freak out made me realize that it was her powers that were screwing up the electronics in the Blackbird, which is why she had to get out of it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

George Clooney did a remake for TV a few years ago, which didn't hold my attention.

Oh yeah - wasn't that the live TV show?

A.O. Scott on The Searchers.

One more note about Once Upon A Time In The West: although the movie is about ~3 hours long, the script (by Leone, Bertolucci, and Dario Argento) was (notoriously) only 15 pages long.

I loved that version. And I was so glad to see the message available to Joe Sixpak...who probably didn't watch...but still.

move out and draw fire

Ha! I just sent that article to my nephew, as the final shot of The Searchers kicked off our multi-year fight about symbolism in art. (He maintains that I read too much into these things; I maintain that movies don't just happen by accident).

(Most movies, anyway).

Yeah, see, when I first saw the movie when I was in Junior High (my dad was a big western fan, so I saw a lot of John Wayne movies growing up), even then I knew that final shot was saying a lot more than just what was on the surface of the scene. So I'm going with very much NOT accidental.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Joe and I watched "Lemony Snicket" yesterday and I really enjoyed it. At one point, I said (of Sunny), "I want that little girl." Joe replied, "We have that little girl."
