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.

move out and draw fire

“Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing.”

I can't read this line out loud without choking up. TKaM may be the most perfect movie adaptation of a book.

Although the original The Haunting is pretty close also.

I got the DH the Val Lewton collection for Xmas, but he's been unthrilled to watch it - keeps saying "It's not really my kind of horror." Not that he's seen any Lewton. And I've yet to find the old horror movie he doesn't like. *sigh*

Punishingly Intricate

Jay Baruchel

YAY! That reminds me I still haven't watched the last few eps of Undeclared.

I really recommend Junebug-- her performance is wonderful.

I loved Amy Adams and enjoyed most of the movie but the end with the baby dying just was too much. I didn't get the point of it except to make the brother's wife look like a villain. It was very heavyhanded compared to the subtlety of the rest of the movie.

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

More F*@% Yeah--this time death scenes, and now I need to watch Equilibrium again.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

now I need to watch Equilibrium again.

Again? Are you sure? Are you really really sure?

The men are pretty. The fight scenes are cool.

Come on -- you watched Queen Of Swords. You know the lengths one will go to for the pretty and the boom.

Shit. I'm currently feeling like buying it. I hope that wears off before I get to bn.com.

Oh, man, you went back in time to drag that one out and use against me, didn't you? Hmph. (And I never *re*watched Queen of Swords.)

I did. One episode. I do learn, eventually.

Always Anti-fascist!

I read "Kevin Spacey" as "Kevin Smith." I think that would be funnier.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I realize that I have but one note to strike, but Robert Preston's role as Ace Bonner in Junior Bonner was a revelation.

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.

I did the same thing, which lead me to having tommyrot's

So at the end, does the dying fanboy say, "That sucked!" just as he dies?

thought and wondered why they would bother making a movie like that in the first place.
