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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The Alamo Drafthouse also had a promo with a guy in a lion suit getting onto a bus. Cut to some dude sitting in the back who suddenly sits up and screams, "There's motherfucking lions on the motherfucking bus!" They're having a SOAP parody contest.

My favorite so far has been a poster for "Ants in My Pants" - to be directed by the Wachowski Bros.

The compass points to Jack after he's taken the letters of marque from Elizabeth.

Thanks, Strega. I hadn't twigged to that! Interesting.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I also think that part of what Elizabeth wants is the life/freedom/adventure Jack represents.

Will somone remind me when we can stop whitefonting this?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I swear, I have not laughed so hard at a trailer than when the Transformers trailer came on on Saturday. Luckily, I wasn't the only one.

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.

Are there two trailers for Transformers. Because the one I saw had a Mars Rover get smashed by something unseen and then the logo. I guess I'm missing the humor.

That was pretty much it, but it was just so cheesy and silly and then with the logo unfurling and I might have been in a mental placeto laugh anyway. But I found it silly and cheesy and therefore hilarious.

I've taken the world's most perfect killing machine and needlessly turned it into a robot...

Oh wait, that's TINFINS, not TRANSFORMERS - my bad.

Grizzlebees!!!!

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

I was startled too, Juliana, and laughed myself. I mean, if it hadn't been those Transformers, it wouldn't have been funny. But it was!
