Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, Children of Men is one of the best films of the year.
HELLs yeah. I need to see it again, like, NOW, and it's not out (in the States) until December. Stoopid non-now release date.
You reach a tipping point in movies when the critical mass of the non-sense making is achieved and you start to question even the things that you'd thought were basic assumptions at the beginning of the movie.
Seriously, it needs to be watched twice. Because there's a TON of information thrown at you in the first ten minutes, which is impossible to pay attention to the first time around. (Okay, so the Gloom never actually makes sense, because it's defined about twelve different contradictory ways during the course of the film. But most of the plot resolves much more sharply on rewatch.)
(And um, hi! I'm back from Europe! I have fifteen bajillion posts to catch up on!)

Hey. New board.
I like the Luna picture! Yay Luna! She's my favorite thing about the existence of OOtP, the book.
(not that it's bad. Just... not as good as most of the others.)

One thing that Anton proved: becoming a supernatural creature can have seriously good repercussions on one's hairdo. Too bad he killed that vampire hairstylist before Yegor could benefit...

I don't think they covered my questions about the purpose of Owlga, or Anton's lack of clothes.

Definitely. And I totally think he should have explained at the end, "Look, it was a bad decision. If you could have seen my hair back then, you'd totally understand that I was a schmuck."
Hmm...Luna Lovegood seems too pretty to me.

Oh, I thought it was out in America on the 29th of September. I can't account for why.

Nope, it's coming out at Christmas. (I think it was originally slated for September, but was pushed back for some reason.)
