Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

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.

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

Superheros during the renaissance [link] (Worth 1000 photoshop contest.)

There were no superheroes during the renaissance period. Why? Apparently there were no supervillains so they were not needed. That would explain the lack of superheroes in fine art. It's time to fix that.

It's good--I'll give you that. But "Dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna Batman!" takes some beating.

I thought of that, but I still have to give Spidey the edge, if only for being covered by The Ramones.

Oh, tommyrot, did that article about superheroes in the Renaissance say anything about French toast? (/Steven Wright geek) But that is one of my favorite jokes, ever.

Nah, it was mostly pictures. No toast, French or not....

Well, it's true...no mention of "Breakfast Any Time" after all.

If Favreau is directing Iron Man, I'm betting that means Vince Vaughn as Tony Stark. Which could actually be a brilliant bit of casting.

"Is even an iron girdle enough to reign in that gut?" is the question.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."

his 5 year absence was spent flying back to the ruins of Krypton specifically to check that out.

But HOW did he get back as the Kryptonian sun would make him desuperfied?

(Fuck, I can't believe I just asked that question.)

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

Fuck, I can't believe I just asked that question.

OH! No, it's really good that you did, because it explains something I'd been wondering about.

Which is to say, the answer is kind of spoilery. Not plot-crucial, but still.

Glad I'm not the only one who was wondering that. Although, and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm mis-remembering, but I thought the sun went supernova which is why Krypton was destroyed in the first place.
