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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So let's see. He's hypersensitive to criticism, yet he deliberately, subconsciously does the exact things that will ensure he will get more criticism. Who does that remind me of?

Oh, wait. That would be me.

Hey. New board.

I have them all already. Well, except for the first one, cuz, why? But still, they crazy.

Also, casting yourself - with a major speaking part - in your own movie? Is lame.

Spike Lee, Kevin Smith, Woody Allen, Ed Burns, Zach Braff, Orson Welles, Mel Brooks, Clint Eastwood...

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

Heh, Strega read my mind. (Except I'm not sure Kevin Smith counts as giving himseld a major speaking part.)

I think I would put Ed Burns on the M. Night side of that equation.

Except for the first two, the rest of the list were performers before they became directors.

And it sucks when QT casts himself, also.

[edit: OK, Ed Burns wasn't either]

Strega read my mind.
And I'm appalled by what goes on in there! Yet I cannot look away...

But good point. In Smith's case I guess we have to substitute "eyebrow wiggling" for "speaking".

Hey. New board.

Let's just hope Sofia Coppola doesn't join that list...
