I actually saw D.E.B.S. in the theater at full price and enjoyed the hell out of it, but possibly because I saw it with meara. We have a history of seeing really silly and stupid movies with hot chicks in them together. We saw Honey in the theater and had a blast.
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.
if you consistently make hundreds of millions of dollars for a studio, you can do anything you like.
I can't read the article, so I can't be sure, but isn't it contradicting this?
Not really; he dumped Disney; they still wanted him. The dinner confrontation ended this way:
After way too many courses, Disney executives walked Shyamalan and his agent to the elevator, and Cook asked to speak to the director alone.
"Just make the movie for us," Cook said, hoping to keep Disney's most important director in the fold. "We'll give you $60 million and say, 'Do what you want with it.' We won't touch it. We'll see you at the premiere."
Aha. Thanks.
It'd surprise me if no big bucks director ever got shown the door, but it's not something I have ammo for.
I was going to call him a douche, but "scrunt" is a much better word.
Heath Ledger as the Joker?
bangs head on desk
I don't know a whole lot about Batman, other than what Joe has told me and what I have gotten from the movies. But first of all, I was really hoping the Batman Begins fanchise would NOT do The Joker. At least not for awhile. Every other franchise has done him. Find someone else. Give The Riddler another shot without that jackass Carey effing him up. Do Two-Face again. Good lord, try Poison Ivy again. But anyone, anyone but The Joker.
Second of all, Heath Ledger? SERIOUSLY??
nah. Would like a Poison Ivy movie.
I think that just because the Joker is in the film doesn't mean it's going to be all about the Joker.
True enough, but I'd rather not see him at all.
