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.

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

Didn't he die?

Not according to the imdb - he's in pre-production on several things.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I wonder if they are going to try and get away without casting Charlie and Bill. They have so far, but it's a pretty big deal in HBP. Unless they do away with the whole Fleur/Bill thing.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Unless they do away with the whole Fleur/Bill thing.

I'm guessing that they will probably do this, unless they plan to address Remus and Tonks, which I highly doubt they will.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Frankly, I like Hugh Laurie for Scrimgeour. The long, angular face, the haunting eyes. He could do the "old lion" but fairly well.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

We have a winner!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, if I were going to PPV The 40 Year Old Virgin tonight, should I get the unrated version or the theater one?

Always Anti-fascist!

Do not rent "Ladder 49," Ever. Ever. Ever. I rented it because I like "Rescue Me," so very much and I still have to wait more months for it. And then I found it was set in Charm City and Travolta was in it so I thought "Yay. Dark humor and feelings of brotherhood...how cool is that?" Yeah, but none of that is in that movie. Just boring scenes of a nobody fire fighter picking up his wife in a grocery store and expecting her to be impressed because he handles the hose(!)And guys get hurt, and die, and you don't care at all.And there were bagpipes and everything and usually that makes me a sniffling wreck but since these guys were like Reilly, O'Connor, Washington, and Plot Device, it was like "eh." I haven't been so disappointed by a movie in a year.

40 Year Old Virgin = Good time. Extended version = a little long.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Saw Underworld: Evolution.

Had a number of conflicting thoughts--if the movie starts in 1202, and Selene's been a death dealer for 600 years--was she turned in 1223 and just sat around? Or did they wait on imprisoning William? How come that shotgun blast from the soldier near the safe house didn't tear her clothing. How in HELL does she get in and out of those clothes? What does it take to kill a vampire or a werewolf anyway? How "Fezzik! Tear his arms off!" "Oh that gate key!" was Markus's interrogation of Tannis?
