I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

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.

Hey. New board.

I bristle. I'm bristling right now.

I'm gonna stick with my ripped laserdisc copies, especially since that's all the unenhanced ones are going to be, really. Apparently, they didn't realize that we (or at least I) wouldn't have minded if all they did was improve the video and audio. Really. It's the crappy extra scenes and changes we don't want.

If i had the time and skills, I'd take the "enhanced" version and the "unenhanced" version and create a version of the second that uses audio/video from the former wherever they didn't actually fuck with it other than in a "make it look less like crap" way. I think somebody out on the internets already did that, actually, but I wouldn't know where to find it.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Since I have neither ripped laser disc copies, nor even a watchable VHS copy, I'll go see them via netflix and be happy with what we've got.

Although I'll bet my cousin who did have a laser disc player and the discs would be able to rip me some DVD copies if I asked him nicely.

All it needs is an S-Video out.

We just watched Green Street Hooligans and I loved it. Except Claire Forlani is a stupid bint for taking her BABY to a HOOLIGAN FIGHT. Other than that, I loved it all.

Thanks to the hivemind for recommending Music of the Heart. I just finished watching it and the documentary, Small Wonders, upon which it was based. Our team is using it for our school assignment and it is a GREAT fit with the assignment.

The other teams are using Take the Lead and Lean on Me. Heck, one team hasn't even started discussing their movie and this is due in a week.

Sorry - school likes carrots. Thanks for the movie recs.

That's cool, Suzi! I've liked a lot of the school assignments you've had to do. If you ever feel like putting some of your papers up where we can read them when you're done, I for one, would love to see them.

Peter Jackson's bought the rights to Naomi Novik's Temeraire.

Oh, Jars! That is just fucking awesome. I love her books. I love Temeraire. I hope, hope, hope that Jackson exercizes his option soonest.

Me too. Here's hoping it actually gets made.

Art Crawl!!!

Weta can perfect their dragon making process with the Hobbit and go on to make many many dragons with Temeraire.
