Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell

Closed Film and TV threads

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 look more rad than Lutheranism

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 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.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

It had Ewam MacGregor. 'Nuf said.

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

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

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

Fortunately, his smile is enough to carry those 2 hours. Rowr.

Though it is disappointing in that it adds to the list of Movies In Which Ewan Does NOT Whip Out His Cock.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Though it is disappointing in that it adds to the list of Movies In Which Ewan Does NOT Whip Out His Cock.

I've long been on record as saying all movies should be Ewan's Cock Movies, and yet I keep watching the ones that aren't. Even some that have no Ewan at all.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Really, it's just 2 hours of Ewan showing off his gorgeous smile.

And the abs. Dear heavens, don't forget them.

all movies should be Ewan's Cock Movies

Not. Enough. Wrod.

The problem with RZ in that movie is that she's no Doris Day. That movie needed a Doris Day type to carry it off. Oh, and an authentic-to-the-era story ending, now-seen-as-strange gender roles and all.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

If one wishes not to be spoiled for Lady in the Water, one should not watch the Exclusive behind-the-scenes clip on Amazon. sigh
