I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

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.

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

I wouldn't be surprised if Wes Anderson had a hand in this somewhere.

C'mon, Owen co-wrote Rushmore and despite his surfer stoner image, his commentary there reveals he's plenty capable of writing his own material.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

C'mon, Owen co-wrote Rushmore and despite his surfer stoner image, his commentary there reveals he's plenty capable of writing his own material.

I was thinking more he might have had a hand in the original letter from Becker & Fagen - not writing, but suggesting they do something. I could totally see him meeting with them to discuss music for a movie and having the topic come up.

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

How shooting digitally changes acting: [link]

The answer: a lot. "I think shooting in digital changes acting as much as film changed stage acting, or as sound changed film," said Bill.

Why? Because film costs a lot and must be used sparingly, while digital tape is practically free. The difference between the scarcity economics of film and the abundance economics of digital is, as Bill put it, "the difference between pointing a loaded gun at someone and a toy gun. You point a loaded gun at them and they're going to act different. A film camera is a loaded gun. Digital is not."

Art Crawl!!!

Helena Bonham-Carter confirmed for next HP film where she will play Bellatrix Lestrange.

She kind of doesn't fit my mental image of the character. I pictured somebody taller and bonier somehow.

I could see that. Much more than Bellatrix. Have they cast Narcissa yet? I could see Cate Blanchett. Or Orlando Bloom.

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

I think we got a brief glimpse of Narcissa in GoF, at the Quidditch Cup.
