Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Don't hire a space monkey, unless it has good references.

That's a given. Although I think Owen could give a space monkey a run for its money.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

Right, okay. Thanks. I'm not computer savvy.

Also:

48!

To be fair, some of those photos are a couple of years old.

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

Is Emmanuelle's top lip naturally like that, or was it a result of injections?

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

I think that happened to her when she was in space.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

A. O. Scott's review of the pirates movie:

"Jack, as usual, finds himself in all kinds of trouble, pursued not only by agents of the British crown, but also by an undead, squid-faced mariner, the famous Davy Jones, who commands a ghoulish crew of half-human, half-aquatic creatures. These sailors are like the cast of "SpongeBob SquarePants" — or the menu at a seafood restaurant —come to life: Night of the Living Bouillabaisse."

Ha! Ha ha ha! I have no need to see this movie -- having been underwhelmed at the charms of the first -- but this is a pretty fun review of it. (Later, there are also jabs at the blandeur of our favorite tiny-headed elf, Orlando Bloom.)

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Ooh, a follow-up on the "space monkeys" report...

I've also been informed that Will is a "ghost" and that he and Jack "do it in the butt." (Now I'm not spoiled, just disappointed that it's a joke.)

He was kidding, I went to a porny place. And thought about AU Jack/Dead!Will. I feel like such a Buffista.

She always had pillowy lips but that does look a bit odd.

Emmanuelle always had a great upper lip but I suspect she's gone all Lisa Rinna in trying to maintain it. Sad, that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Saw Wordplay last night and enjoyed it mightily. Will Shortz = adorable. The Crossword participants are a much more supportive and healthy bunch than the Scrabble players seemed to be from the documentary I saw on that compeetion, and most of them seem to have interesting lives. I was all NPR geekish throughout, getting all excited to see Merl Reigel and Neal Conan onscreen. BUffistas would definitely dig this flick.

Has anyone heard any word on Down in the Valley?
