This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

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.

Are we topic-nannying now? That's kinda new.

Always Anti-fascist!

Hey... I mentioned a movie. I call it vaguely on topic.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'd call it not so much nannying as politely reminding at this phase.

Let me put it this way: over there lies a virgin topic, spreading its metaphorical legs with a saucy smile on its virtual lips and a gleam in its photonic eyes, while we're over here plowing the same tired old farrow.

Hmmm, farrow is really not the same thing as furrow, which is what I was trying for. However, I think I'll let it stand for now....

I've not been into the premium channel thread, but I figured they both knew it was there, therefore reminding isn't exactly the word.

Topic drift. Happens. All the time here. If it's going to start being a problem, the landscape is definitely shifting.

Mia Farrow. On topic! (ding ding ding)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Go Raq!

Anyone else looking forward to Hollywoodland? I am a sucker for Old Hollywood stuff. I hope it is good, I have been avoiding reviews, since I knew I was seeing it no matter what.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

What I'd like is to see a movie dealing with the William Desmond Taylor murder in 1922. Early Hollywood, successful director murdered, studio coverup--it just screams Good Cinema!

I'm looking forward to it, Raq. I want to see Black Dahlia too, but it's not something to get me running to the theater at the moment.

Yeah, that's a great story. Also Paul Bern's suicide would make a terrific film.
