'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
Count me in with Cash in liking Layer Cake.
Just got back from seeing Half Nelson. The movie is too long, but Ryan Gosling was AMAZING. A really impressive performance--you really see the way addiction inexorably progresses and how that erodes his personality. I was also thrilled to see classroom scenes where they got it right--the teacher sounded like a teacher and the kids behaved like actual kids. There was no comedic banter or character-defining lines.
Oooh, I saw the CR trailer when I went to see SoaP. I thought it looked like fun, but what interested me the most is that it looks like they're actually going back to when Bond became a double-Oh. I didn't pay enough attention to the trailer to see if they tried to make it look like it was set in the past or if they still stick with a contemporary storyline. I'm a little leery of that, but it would explain the lack of Star Wars like satellite weapons. I'm wondering who they'll have play Q? The scenes in the trailer played by fast enough, I don't remember that much from it. Just, new. pretty. Bond!
I just visited craigsnotbond.com and it says "We 100% support Daniel Craig as the next James Bond"
Did somebody sneak in and buy the domain name, or did they all change their mind when the trailer came out, or am I just very confused?
Ah, there it is: danielcraigisnotbond.com is a hate campaign site now. Weird.
Does that qualify as fandom wank?
The anti-Craig people showed up on fandom wank when the petition and website first went up but they haven't been any new activity since then. I'm sure that will change as it closer to Nov 17.
Do any of them think that a petition is going to have any effect when the movie's already filmed and about to be released everywhere?
Maybe they think Pierce Brosnan will be appreciative and give them all oral sex or something.

That's exactly what they're doing.

It's set in contemporary times. It's a complete reset, but they're not turning the clock back at all.

Awesome! We can start a whole new franchise without the cheese factor.
