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.

OMGPiratesyay!

Um, that is, I saw it tonight, and liked it lots. I think my favorite character was the voodoo witchy woman. I loved Elizabeth chaining Jack to the Pearl, and her remorse about betraying him being read as grief by Will. And oh! Scruffy Norrington! I want to know more about why he ended up that way.

I was completely unspoiled for the return of Barbosa. I clapped my hands in glee at that point.

And because I'm predictable in a magpie sort of way, not only did I love the "Something shiny" line, but I want a replica of the heart locket that both Davey Jones and the voodoo queen had.

In conclusion, again, OMGPiratesyay!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I am a dolt and misread Will's misreading Elizabeth's remorse as grief as Will's reading Elizabeth's remorse as...remorse.

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

Bad news from the Miami Vice set.

If I only had a brain...

I thought Will was focusing on the OMGWTFKissyface! As in, "What, were his tonsils about to fall out and you were shoving them back into place?"

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

ATTN NYCISTAS!

Film Forum is currently in the middle of a Billy Wilder programme, and tonight and tomorrow they will be showing Ace in the Hole, which I raved about for weeks after seeing it there during their last Wilder-a-thon. This is a devastatingly brilliant movie that's not available on any home video format (I believe there are rights issues), so if you have time this weekend, GO SEE IT. I'll be at the 5:20 show tomorrow evening.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Betsy, that was my take.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

tonight and tomorrow they will be showing Ace in the Hole,

Jan Sterling has some of the greatest noir tough-chick lines ever in this movie.

Reporter: "Hey lady, you wanna pray for the kid trapped in the well?"
Jan: "I don't kneel. It wrinkles my nylons."

Last night, I watched Jarmusch's Mystery Train for the first time since Joe Strummer died. I've seen it several times, and each time it's as funny and wonderful as I thought it was the first time, but this time it was a little bittersweet and sad as well.

Also, I came into it (it was on cable) most of the way through Far From Yokohama, which is my favorite piece in the movie, but the other two sections are still wonderful.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Has it been mentioned that Del Toro and Pearlman are back for Hellboy 2, yet?
