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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

To be fair, 60s era Batman comics were as silly as the show...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dork Knight vs. Dark Knight.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I have to confess an unhealthy love for the '60s TV show. And especially the '60s movie.

But then, I like high camp.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I like shark repellent.

And hard water.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

In conclusion, let's make out Venom! Venom! VENOM!!!!

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.

Also -- was that Gwen Stacy?

Yup. (Why introduce her now, I have no clue.)

I'm worried that it's going to fall prey to "Too Many Villians" syndrome. Do we really need Venom, Sandman and the Green Goblin II in one movie? Especially when Peter has to get the symbiote, realize it's evil, get rid of it and then have it attach itself to Eddie Brock and become Venom in the same film that you've got these other two baddies running around.

Unless this thing is going to be 3 hours long, I don't know how they're going to pull it off without it being a chaotic mess.

I stand beside you in unhealthy love.

I enjoyed watching re-runs of the 60's series when I was a kid. I remember watching them every Sunday morning before Sunday School with my parents. I have no idea how well they'd hold up now. I've already had unfortunate realizations with Transformers: The Movie, Voltron and Thundercats upon coming across them in my adult life.

Though in 60's show's favor, at least I already know how cheesy it is.

I know! Such an awesome trailer!

I'm worried that it's going to fall prey to "Too Many Villians" syndrome. Do we really need Venom, Sandman and the Green Goblin II in one movie?

It does seem to have the X3 issue of combining too many major storylines into one movie, and, um...maybe they'll pull it off? The trailer is so awesome! I have no idea why they need Sandman; I'd never even heard of him. I love that they're using Green Goblin II (I thought they were going to do Hobgoblin, but the trailer shows Osborne dodging a pumpkin bomb, so I guess not?) because it's continuous through the three films. And I love that they're using Venom because they really seem to be digging into the psyche of superherodom with each film.
