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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I want to make out with all of you.
French kissing, of course.

What do the French call all other kinds of kissing? Freedom kissing?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Bother that; I want to know what the French call French kissing. (Tangentially, I once asked my grandmother what Greeks say when they want to say "It's Greek to me;" turns out the answer is "By me it's Chinese.")

French Kissing was really invented in Belgium.

I had to laugh at the queue description, but I don't think I'm that bad about it. My queue is kind of schizy, though. I'm thinking it would be less revealing about me and more "Who the fuck were we chasing?" I'd see the Black Dahlia...pretend you're surprised. Yeah, I've always wondered if it was, say, French kissing and English kissing.

Given that the same verb is used for kissing and fucking, do you think they bothered with what's in the middle?

Sacre bleu, I hope so. The middle is some of my favorite stuff.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
The Flick Filosopher has a rather negative review of Black Dahlia that is well-written in her usual clever way. (Read her review of Memento for more clever reviewing.) I like the end:
I could see that he might have the right moves, that he had a spark of something classy and classic in this De Palma disaster, too, but he just wasn’t man enough yet to finagle the disaster around to his own benefit. This Hartnett kid, he let himself play the victim, walked right into a slaughterhouse of bad, seduced by the De Palma name, maybe, did okay for a bit before the knives came out at the laugh riot of the ending -- where the shouting ramps up even more and De Palma goes nuts -- and he got chewed up and spit out...
He stared at me like the white light coming out of a projector with the tail end of celluloid on the reel flapping around.
“Okay, look: you know that dead Dahlia girl?” I said.
“Sure,” he said.
“You get how it’s supposed to be sad that she was so desperate for fame and fortune that she’d do anything?” I said.
“Sure,” he said. And then the paparazzi bulb flashed over his head. “Oh.”
I waived my fee. He seemed like a nice kid. But I made him buy me another popcorn on the way out.
