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.

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...

move out and draw fire

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.

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.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

I need to see it again, like, NOW, and it's not out (in the States) until December. Stoopid non-now release date.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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

Hey. New board.

I've always imagined Luna to be pretty. Odd, but pretty.

Of course, I'm a femslasher, and Ginny/Luna may be my OTP, so that could just be my fic reading talking.

Besides, if we're talking abot people being too pretty in the movies, I think Hermione still wins.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I was just chatting with a co-worker as she was getting ready to go home, and got onto the subject of drag queens (invite for a show tomorrow night from the Chicagoistas!), which made me ask her if she had ever seen Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. She hadn't, but when I mentioned who was in it, she asked if it was available for rent. I mentioned the remake To Wong Foo..., and she had seen that one, but could never remember the name of it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

To Wong Foo isn't a remake of Priscilla, as best I interpret them. Sure, two movies about drag queens and road trips and redemption. But remake implies much more similarity than I feel exists.

I also don't think you can remake a 94 film in 95. Turnaround time's too short.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Also, Priscilla is an absolutely wonderful film and Wong Fu sucks.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Does not.
