But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

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.

Remarkably, this wasn't produced by Sci-Fi. But I'll bet they air it, bless them.

The movie tells how a reckless genetic engineering experiment goes horribly wrong and a flock of innocent sheep is transformed into a pack of blood-thirsty killers.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Just saw The Matador LOVED it. Hated the 'stache.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I just got back from seeing the big gay pirate movie #2! And I loved it!

How many people sat through the entire credits to see the extra scene?

I did poorly on quiz 1, got all but 14, 21, 23 and 30 on quiz 2. There's a third one?

I stayed until the end scene. I had to convince the woman I went with to do so. I had to tell her that the people on the internet said it was worth it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

How many people sat through the entire credits to see the extra scene?

We did.

Incidentally, my current theory about Pirates is that it was a movie designed for fandom. It spent a lot of time on world-building and lore and triangulating the relationships and making the characters murkier. All fandom fodder.

The first movie had less of that. This one seemed consciously designed to make a LoTR (movie edition anyway) type world.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What Hec said, and then the second time I saw it, I made Juliana and Suzi stay while I went to pee.

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

It spent a lot of time on world-building and lore and triangulating the relationships and making the characters murkier.

From where I was sitting, it spent a lot of time on special-effects-driven set pieces, and with no attention paid to character or story development at all. Your "murkier" is my "made both inconsistent and incoherent for the sake of cheap laughs and filler."

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Trailer for Scorsese's The Departed, the American remake of Infernal Affairs: [link]

Huh. For some reason, I thought Matt Damon was playing the undercover cop and DiCaprio the mole in the police. It's the other way around. The trailer's not really singing to me, but then, I loved the original A LOT. Not sure how much of Tony Leung's soulfulness DiCaprio would be able to capture.
