I have them all already. Well, except for the first one, cuz, why? But still, they crazy.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than 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.

Hey. New board.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Spike Lee, Kevin Smith, Woody Allen, Ed Burns, Zach Braff, Orson Welles, Mel Brooks, Clint Eastwood...
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...

Not Zach Braff, but that's going back to college.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Kevin Smith
Well, technically, that's not speaking.
Heh.

Believe me, if A Sound of Thunder is an indication of what Ed Burns movies will be like when he makes a choice between acting or directing, we want him pulling double duty.
