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.
As has been noted here before, a film's theatrical run is increasingly seen as a marketing campaign for the DVD.
I'm particularly excited about Holiday, which has never been released on DVD before.
How is this possible? One of JZ's all-time favs.

Mine too! Mmm, Johnny Case.

I've never seen Holiday, either. But now I can change that!
The Awful Truth is one of my all time favorite movies. So very screwball-- and sweet.
I just saw that one on TCM a few months ago and thought what a Hec moment that was. The movie was very funny, too, although more "stylized" than stuff I usually like, but for CG I'll pick the urban grit out of my fingernails, although he's not the reason I like "Girl Friday." Totally wanna be her.
I laughed like a loon on goofballs all through The Awful Truth.

It looks bloody awful, but my question is how did whoever made the sequel get these respectable British actors to work on this flick? David Thewlis and Charlotte Rampling are both fine actors, and I've been very impressed by what I've seen of David Morrissey. They must have been strapped for cash.

Any description I may come up for this (it's a... music video) cannot possibly do it justice.
