I saw it with a bunch of relatives who are in the publishing industry with me, and when she got to the "And then all I would have to do was be patient and wait... the two or three weeks it would take for everyone in the world to buy a copy of my best-seller" part we all fell out laughing hysterically.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Renee is the opposite of sexy in my book. Too skinny and she always looks like she just sucked on something sour.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I thought it was funny and cute despite trying very hard to be funny and cute, but it had one of the most infuriating third acts I've ever seen.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I thought it was funny and cute as long as I just ignored RZ. I had no use for her whatsoever. Her gal pal, though -- she was aces! And David Hyde Pierce, getting his beatnik on? I thought I would hurt myself laughing. And of course Ewan is just -- GUH.

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

Yes. This. There's just a blank hole where the female lead is.

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

The female lead, and most of the script. Really, it's just 2 hours of Ewan showing off his gorgeous smile.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
Her gal pal, though -- she was aces!
Yeah, she was sassy. In an 'Everything is connected' moment, she was played by Sarah Paulson, the hologram in Serenity.
I thought it had lots of witty lines but I can't deal with sexual innuendo at all. It makes me think of Carry On films and "How's your uncle?" and Barbara Windsor in a shower cap, with one hand on her backside and the other to her mouth, and a family, suffering from barely repressed hostility towards each other, drinking milky tea together as they watch a cricket match on a grey, drizzly Sunday afternoon.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, Breakfast Club was good. It was thisclose to being awesome, but the ending irritated me, but I think that's Hughes and I not really getting along. Also Judd Nelson looks sooo much older than the rest of them, which, IMO, makes a huge difference for the character
