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.

Clearly, they wanted the kid gloves to come off for that portrayal of the Crazy.

Imagine being one of the other actresses that's competing against Juliet for a Victorian lunatic role. Her demo reel is the Buffy Season 2 DVD set.

Finally saw Inside Man (which I really liked) and went back to see what everyone thought and found this:

My relatives, however, have no blinking clue who he is. We were all baffled by his use of a popular Bollywood song at the beginning and end (I still don't understand why the hell he used it).

If you're still interested P-C, on the commentary, Spike Lee said that, while teaching a section on musicals in a film class, one of his Indian students recommended Dil Se to him. He so loved the song that he decided to include it in one of his next movies. It has no specific relevance to the plot.

Also, I agree with whoever said that the big reveal could have been handled better, but Lee said that he considered the whole thing a McGuffin anyway.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Have you seen Oldboy? She posits you're not going to see its like in mainstream Western cinema.

I'd say your sister is right. If the remake does happen, it sounds like all the sicker aspects will be excised and it'll simply be another revenge-type flick.

Has anyone seen or heard anything about Renaissance? I saw a little ad on my screen, and it looks really cool. Like a Sin City flipbook come to life.

The trailer is pretty awesome.

The few things I heard about it were making comparisons to SKY CAPTAIN... in that, yeah, outrageously cool visuals, but a script really would have helped. Lots of interesting actors doing the voices as I recall, though.
