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.

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

Emily and I just got back from seeing SoaP. We even had our eyes uncovered for most... about half...some of it.

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

Is it worth any money as a movie or simply a cultural phenomenon?

Hey. New board.

Dude. Snakes. Plane. Of COURSE it's worth money as a movie.

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

But wouldn't it have been even more FG if it were Attack of the Killer Shrews ON A PLANE?

DH has to email me back to see when/where we're going tonight.

Hey. New board.

Possibly my favorite line from a review EVER:

This is the snakiest plane movie and the planeiest snake movie ever made.

ETA: I actually really like The whole review.

It's basically a movie about two questions:

1. What is the meaning of life? Oh, sorry, wrong movie. I meant to say, how many places can snakes be on a plane and how many places on a body can they bite? Answer: all of them

2. What items on a plane can be used to combat, destroy, and barricade oneself from snakes? Answer: More than you'd think

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Heh. The Flick Philosopher's review of SoaP: "It is, as you might suspect, very much in the tradition of that genre of socially aware, psychologically insightful films of the 1960s that Truffaut called cinema du serpent....

Hey. New board.

I just finished Anthony Rapp's (Mark Cohen in the original Broadway cast of Rent) memoir, Without You. I am finally ready to watch the movie, I think.

I expect I'll be crying soon.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have been listening to that on tape-- with Anthony Rapp reading. I am enjoying it thusfar!

Hey. New board.

It's good.

10 minutes in, and I'm already wondering about some of the decisions. The order is slightly different and it leads to redundancies. Why couldn' they leave it in the original order?

I am quite liking the bits where they speak lines that were song originally, but in the same rhythm. That works well.

Okay, no more Rent thoughts until I'm done. This isn't the musicals thread.

Anthony Rapp--a fellow Jolietan! My mom first saw him in The Little Prince on Broadway when he was about 12 years old, and I saw him play Charlie Brown in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown when it was in previews in Chicago.
