Rocky IV came out, and then Communism collapsed. Coincidence?
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

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.

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

In non-Superman/Rocky news, I heard a decent review for the PotC sequel on the radio this morning. The Chicago Tribune's movie reviewer gave it 3 stars and said that he thought it was better than the original (which he didn't see until after he saw the sequel--he admitted his ranking of the two might have been different if he had seen them in order). He thought it suffered from the same main problem that the first one had--being a bit too long at 2 1/2 hours--but had better action sequences and more fun. Depp is definitely the key player; he thought that both Bloom and Knightly faded to the background rather quickly.

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

Same as before, then.
Kevin Smith's Superman script. Still reading it myself.

Now I'm thinking of the story he told in the documentary about the producer and the spiders.

Now I'm thinking of Clark and Jimmy Olsen just standing against a wall, with Clark standing silently, and Jimmy ranting on and on, with his speech liberally peppered with curse words and saying like, "snoochie boochies."

Offputting, Sean, but funny.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Would Clark at some point burst out with a speech about chasing Lois?
