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.

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

I read this as "Not. Enough. Wood." which works as well, I guess!

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.

Let me guess. They're actually in a modern day forest preserve?

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

For those who are only going to find out the ending by being spoiled, is it a long clip?

edit: uh, objectively I guess it's the same length clip for just about everyone. that's not what I meant.

Hey. New board.

ita, if you want to be spoiled (I don't plan to see it either), I'm sure you could wait until a critic tells all and not have to suffer through a clip.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I saw Syriana last night. Pretty people, big money. Big downer.

Kind of irritating, that it was so neatly set up: no loose ends, you know? There deserved to be at least a random Christian Science Monitor reporter sniffing after the details. Also, the plot kind of relied on the dumbest security teams in the galaxy (two instances).

My buddy Scott mentioned the best yet review for The Lady in the Water: “Watching the movie feels a bit like walking in on your roommate while he's masturbating … to a picture of himself.”

Heh. I had no real intention of seeing the movie before, but that review pretty much sealed it for me. Interesting that there's apparently no twist ending.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Which these days is practically a twist ending itself.
