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.

Art Crawl!!!

Andre Braugher will be in the next Fantastic Four movie.

BTW, that piece has a casting spoiler for a NBC show. ( er, it would have been nice to see Andre Braugher in er -- but Forest Whitaker will be okay too. )

Also, poor McCabe is pretty, well, dim.

Heh, I was about to chime in that I thought McCabe was pretty much a hooplehead who got lucky for a spell.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I did, in fact, enjoy McCabe and Mrs. Miller and definitely see its influence over Deadwood.

Excellent news! I fully agree with Robin and Frank about McCabe's hoopleness. I don't think Deadwood has an analogous character who similarly less smart than he thinks he is, except maybe E.B. And McCabe, for his faults, is no E.B.

Nuh uh. He would, at least, wipe the spit off his face.

McCabe toadies to no man! Which, as it turns out, is his problem.
