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 do have missionary genes, you know. I just grew up heathen so it came out as thrall to The Daves of HBO.

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

I'm against prostelyzing on principle, even if I've been guilty of it regarding film/tv in the past (ps, everyone go rent The Apple). The Deadwood talk in here doesn't ping me that way because there is actual discussion surrounding the pleas to watch.

I hope I've never offended anyone doing that, even if every "But I don't *like* cop shows." is like taking one to the gut for me. To get kind of back on topic: Corwood, bunk, what Western films should I investigate with the new interest from Deadwood?

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

...but even though Deadwood talk is in here (for now), we're not going to start talking about Veronica Mars or other TV shows in here.

In movie news, I saw a description of "upcoming" movies for summer 2007 the other day. Now, I know that, a year out, the predictive criteria for any given blockbuster are poor, so sequels are necessarily going to show up heavily in such a list. But the list? Was only sequels: Ocean's 13, Pirates 3, The Bourne [Adjective], a second Fantastic Four movie -- ? and that last, did the first one actually do that well, or are they always planning for a trilogy when they start teh first one, now?

McCabe and Mrs. Miller.

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

Not why should I watch it, but why do you, personally, want me to watch it?

Well, I was mostly joking because, like you said, I'm sure we've had this conversation before, but I like sharing the things I love with my friends. But you don't have to watch it if you're not interested.
