It was pretty funny that *anyone* would believe the king of the towers drug market is a grey-haired white guy
Yeah, but that's no "I knew it was your first time. I wanted it to be special."
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

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.

IIRC, according to the commentary, there were directorial difficulties with the episode, which necessitated some rewriting after shooting had finished, including making it into a flashback plot structure. IOW, the writer may have turned in a truly excellent script and then had to stand by helplessly as it systematically had all the excellence sucked out of the story.

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

Moore took complete responsibility for the suckage, but my impression from the podcast was that it was a problematic ep from day 1 (before a writer had ever been assigned).

move out and draw fire
Huh. A geekfriend just emailed to discuss the Spidey trailer. He said "Venom! Sandman! Hobgoblin! And there's the rumor of a 4th villain, but Sam Raimi is keeping a tight lid on that."
So maybe Hobgoblin and Green Goblin II?
Although, the Lizard was introduced in the last movie, so maybe he'll get some screentime in this one.

I dunno. The premise was suspect at best, and the climax was T.J. Hooker-level bad (in fact, on that note, the episode would have been greatly improved by ending on a freeze-frame of Apollo giving the camera a thumbs-up, laughing his fool head off).
That said, I'm sure there's plenty of room to spread the blame around.

Always Anti-fascist!
No, nothing is like "You could've bent me over a patrol car, and had your way with me..." It's funny and fucking touching. Against its will. I get the urge to quote that to my friends a lot, but mostly they just blink.(Not that I'm surprised...it makes me appreciate other Wire fiends , though. And I guess I'm gonna have to rethink the damn Christmas cards. I hate when that happens, bunk.)

Art Crawl!!!
I went to see Superman Returns today!!! It was great!!!
Plus, I saw an ad (really seemed like an ad not a teaser) for Miami Vice, a Teaser for Snakes on a Plane, a trailer for POTC2 (the first one I've seen at the theatre -- THAT'S how long it's been since I've seen a movie in the theatre), one for Accepted (silly!) and My Super Ex-Girlfriend and a teaser for The Nativity Story (which JUST didn't seem to fit) AND the Spidey3 Trailer!!!
Also -- I got to buy my ticket for POTC2.

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