We're taking a moment ... and we're done.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think Corpse Bride or Mirrormask. Didn't they open on the same day?

The Nightmare Before Christmas?
Not from the oughts. But the 3-D version is opening this Halloween so that might count.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Has anyone here managed to make it through Nightwatch? Russian vampires were too much for me, it seems. We tried to watch it three times and had to keep going back to the beginning every single time.

I made it all the way through.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
As did I. It was pretty cool, and it had rockin' subtitles.

Does it make more sense after the clip of Buffy vs. Dracula on the television?

Subtitles on a movie in English. Mmm...I didn't think of that. It might have cleared up a few of the spots were I got confused.

It's...not in English. It's in Russian. You must be watching a dubbed version.
And I always thought it made enough sense to follow for the most part, although it did have this nasty habit of, like, not explaining anything. If you keep going, it should make more sense, though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Has anyone here managed to make it through Nightwatch?
Yep, twice. It makes a LOT more sense the second time through, given the creators' utter lack of acquaintance with exposition. (I still liked it the first time through, but there's a ton of information thrown out in the first 30 minutes or so that went completely over my head because I didn't realize so much of it was going to be important later on.)

?? Unless there's a dubbed version out there, only the opening narration is in English.

I got whatever Netflix sent me. It was bad dubbing, regardless because at one point, I could barely understand the lines.

Whenver I thought it was making sense they showed the vortex and I got lost. I may give it another try.
