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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I just saw the trailer for Crank. It pleases me to no end that they've concocted another plot for a film where Jason Statham appears shirtless.

Not just shirtless. (Also Not Safe for Work...)

Deadwood non-watchers: what are you waiting for?

Hell to freeze over, which will have to happen before I pay for HBO again after their cancellation of Carnivàle.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Just watched Coyote Ugly. Let us never speak of it again.

I did too! It was on late night TV on Saturday night. I knew it would be bad, but I couldn't quite believe how bad it was. Except I really like Maria Bello.

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

Corwood, I pretty much agree completely, especially on what is the fuckin' purpose of the cobshucking (sorry, cannot resist the inanity) acting troupe. I love Brian Cox's scenes with McShane, but otherwise they have been a massive drain on other characters' screen time I'd rather see (the acting troupe has Potential, so to speak). I did, however, love Cy's scene with Doc, but mainly 'cause I love any scene I've seen with Doc. Is Jarry the one played by Ned RyersonStephen Tobolowsky? I kinda like his pompous obsequiousness, although if he ever had a scene with Farnum lasting more than 30 seconds my TV would implode from the cringing mealy-mouthedness (so glad Brad Dourif didn't get stuck in a role like that, even though he can play the hell out of that too). In closing, "How's the fuckin' back, pal?"

Punishingly Intricate

ha I was just going to say that the theatre troupe scenes bug me because they remind because they are a little to Carnivàlesque and I never could get into that show. But I do love Brian Cox and I especially loved his interaction with the preachy ass hotel owner this week.

Al jumping off the balcony was one of the sexiest things I've ever seen on the tv. my god.

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

Heh, that wasn't exactly my response, but I loved that it was completely uncalculated. At whatever point he started calculating later on, at that moment he was entirely about getting Alma to safety first; figure things out later. Heh, I can totally picture him as a Dread Pirate Swearengin in another life.

Deadwood non-watchers: what are you waiting for?

A world with less proselytizing, why do you ask?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I liked Titanic when i first saw it with my family. I didn't like it about a month later, when every single girl I fantasized about in my high school was too busy fantasizing about Leo

I feel Old. The emo-fantasy movie of my highschool years was Ghost, and even then I was aware that you do not segue from pottery-making to tonsil-hockey without washing your hands first.

What is with movies marketed to females with gooshy middles, where the romantic hero dies? My experience of romance novels is that the hero is supposed to live at the end (and possibly wear a kilt, and definitely glue himself to the heroine's side, but the living thing seems kind of key).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Because I want to see if you have time for Veronica Mars, that's why!

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

I hereby apologise for having ever suggested anyone watch any TV show ever.

Well, except Profit.

Never happen! Considering my traumatic religious childhood, we're all lucky that this is all the proselytizing that I do.

Swearingin: A friend on another board said that he thought Al too old to jump off a balcony without severe consequences, but I think the mud and shit in the thoroughfare, as well as the fact that he and Bullock went over that balcony before without any visibly broken bones, argue for his ability to go over without hurting himself.

I really didn't like Carnivale, but I only watched the first season.
