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.

Always Anti-fascist!

I remember it fondly,I suppose. Haven't seen any in a really long time.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I have no idea why they need Sandman; I'd never even heard of him.

He's a Spidey villain from waaaaaay back.

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

DH and I were speculating that Topher Grace might not actually make it all the way to being Venom in this film -- that it might be Spidey v Evil Suit (and Sandman and GGII), with Topher only becoming Venom close enough to the end to set him up for Spidey 4. Because otherwise, yeah, WAY too many villains.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Batman Begins, even though I didn't enjoy it, did three villians really well-- they mapped like spiraling circles of villiany. Although Chris Nolan has some experience with complicated plotting.

P.S.: I do not know how to spell villian/villain. They both look wrong. I know it derives from villein, maybe that's a clue.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Now I just need to figure out which movie will most likely be showing the Spidey 3 trailer...mmm....

Seriously, Spidey vs. Evil Suit would be enough for one movie.

Topher Grace does NOT seem big/bulky enough to play Eddie Brock. IJS.

But MAN, Thomas Hayden Church is so perfectly Sandman -- the same way J.K. Simmons is J. Jonah Jameson. Impressive.

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

When I was a kid, I didn't realize that Batman (the TV show) was supposed to be funny. I remember being confused when Batman went into a bar and ordered a milk.

But I did find the "Bat-parachute-retrieval-service" van amusing (it showed up just after the Batmobile used a parachute to slow down that was then jettisoned).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I remember reading a Neil Adams/Dennis O'Neal Batman comic when I was little, where a burglar pulled a gun on Batman, and Batman broke his knuckles. That wasn't the Batman I was used to; it caused me some serious congitive dissonance.

Art Crawl!!!

Looks like next summer we'll have Spidey and Wolverine.

OOh. They can be roomates!

Actually, that sounds more like a sitcome. Wolverine buys Spidey his first six-pack, drunken wackiness ensues....
