I'm beginning to see where Emily and I went wrong. Stupid having to drive.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes. I must drink tonight.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
MOTHERFUCKIN' SNAKES!
That was pretty awesome. It could have been better, but...it was pretty awesome.
The most amusing meta-thing was that not once in the movie does anyone actually say the line "snakes on a plane." They do, however, repeatedly say "Pacific Air Flight 121." Heh.

Hey. New board.
Have you seen her in Roman Holiday yet? She's just ridiculously fall-in-love-withable in that.
I love that movie.
I ALSO Love Snakes on a Plane. I think that may have been the most satisfying moviegoing experience of my life. I'm quite sure the bottle of wine and three beers helped. But still. Snakes. Plane. Samuel L. Jackson. Did I mention Snakes? They were there. Biting people. Most of them (the people, but also snakes) died. Gruesomely. It was awesome.

Ha! I did not drink, but it was fun nonetheless. The audience had a disconcerting rhythm of laughter that didn't always have much to do with what was onscreen, but once the action picked up, it was okay.
Man, there was grue and then some. It was the non-snake deaths that made me squint my eyes.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, those were bad.

I can't wait to see it. Still a little busy right now, though.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I just got back from Soap, AIWFG! I kept switching back and forth from horrified to mildly squicked to hysterical laughter. Also, sporks! Snake in a microwave! A bunch of other great moments that I can't think of right now.

I just read that SoaP only made $6 million yesterday, and will probably only clear $15m this weekend. Ouch.

On the other hand, it's ahead of everything else for the weekend.
