Buffistas

Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

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.

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

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.

Any Akira fans out there with a very large amount of excess cash who want a new motorcycle?

"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.

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

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.

Always Anti-fascist!

I have too much of a phobia to ever see it. I'd be a bigger show than SLJ.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think SoaP's BO performance will be a marathon, rather than a sprint. I still look for it to make a profit.

erika, DH is as phobic as you, I think. Maybe I can get him drunk and get him to go see it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I watched most of it through my fingers, but the parts I did see were so funny. All the movie cliches were used so well.
