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.
Meep.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love 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.

Yeah. I haven't been overly impressed with any cinema dragons I've seen.The one in Dragonslayer is still impressive. (The matte effects aren't, of course, but the dragon by itself is gorgeous.)

Surprisingly, I liked the horntail dragon in HP:GoF. I say "surprisingly" because I've never liked a movie dragon yet, though the animated Smaug gets an honorable mention.

Reign of Fire and Arabian Nights (the tv mini), feature my favorite dragons ever. Plus, Matthew Mc going craxtastic and Jason Scott Lee without a shirt...my needs are simple.

I was pretty meh even on the dragons in Reign of Fire. They didn't totally suck ass like, say, the dragon in Dragonheart, but they still left me pretty meh.

Unsurprisingly, I'm with Strega about Vermithrax Pejorative being the best cinematic dragon. So far, only she and Sigourney Weaver have been able to make me sit through a movie full of Peter MacNicol's tics.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Ahem. There was also shirtless Christian Bale. And even though he was never shirtless, alas, there was a sweet and funny Gerald Butler.
I liked the Dragonheart dragon. I like Peter MacNicol, too.
...do I have to turn in my Buffista card now?
ETA: Smaug had the best dragon-voice, ever, I think.

Richard Boone, IIRC, and, yeah, a great voice (John Huston's Gandalf wasn't bad either).
So far, only she and Sigourney Weaver have been able to make me sit through a movie full of Peter MacNicol's tics.
Soon, the city will be mine and Vigo's... mainly Vigo's.

Turn in your Buffista card for having a different opinion? I think not, dearest Bev.

If one has to turn in one's Buffista card for loving the Biscuit...um...I'll be really, really bummed. Hides card under bum...lalalala...
