For me, the Scott Speedman nude scene guarantees that up front.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

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 remember being very, very bitter because you in LA saw it *months* before it reached Charlotte.
But you and I saw it together in Portland.

Shelly Winters, too. How strange, they were married to each other at one time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That Franciosa page had a huge Hugh Laurie picture.
Disquieting.

I can't even.
But saying that a werewolf/vampire movie is a retread of The Matrix just because the leading lady is in latex sounds stupid.
It did remind me of the Matrix and not because of the outfit because Kate Beckinsale's ass is what brung me to the theater. The effects are very matrix-y. And the movie is total crap (in a Blade 2, way over the top, fun way, if you like that kind of thing), but they deliver that perfect posterior, so I'm all good.

Hey. New board.
On the funny and strong: What 'bout Maggie Gyllenhaal? Who, okay, not really strong (or, I suppose, that funny) in Secretary but she's certainly not america's sweetheart. Of course, I haven't seen her in much else, but in Happy Endings she played a strong, funny... gold digger. In Mona Lisa Smile, she played a strong, funny... tramp. And in Donnie Darko, she played her brother's sister, but was both funny and, from what I could tell from her tiny part, pretty strong. So, based on that small sample, she seems to play strong, funny women who get laid a lot.

If I only had a brain...
But you and I saw it together in Portland.
Yes, and we were happy. But I think ita had already seen it by then -- no?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
Yes, I'm going for Beckinsale in latex and I don't care who knows it.
from what i'm hearing, this is the only reason to go see it.
