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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I think the LotR chick who believed that she was physically transforming into Elijah Wood/Frodo Baggins and still had people defending her after making that public wins the blue ribbon for nuttiness.

That story still sets the standard for all fandom crazy, I think. She was spotted at the last HP film premiere in New York dressed up like Harry, too, so apparently her "changes" aren't just limited to one fandom idol.

Does anyone think that "The Illusionist" is going to get big enough to make it across the pond? I really hope so, because I want to see it and "The Prestige" back to back.

The Daniel Radcliffe thing is a clip from an upcoming episode of Extras

Actually, the Radcliffe episode was on last week. Tonight it's Chris Martin and Ronnie Corbett.

Extras is real watch-from-the-hall stuff. So funny and so, so painful. Mind you, it has given us sixtysomething Diana Rigg with a condom stuck on her head and Orlando Bloom with a Depp-inferiority-complex so, you know, who's complaining?

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

Extras is real watch-from-the-hall stuff. So funny and so, so painful.

I'm finding it to be too cartoony. Like, even, compared to Season 1. It seems like something Gervais and Merchant would have written ten years before The Office. Jack Dee's Lead Balloon on BBC4 is threading the same ground tonally but without the David Bowie-writes-an-incredibly-cruel-song-about-you type craziness.

Hivemind question: You know that Gap commercial that has Audrey Hepburn dancing around in pegged pants and penny loafers? What movie is that clip from?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Funny Face.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What movie is that clip from?

Funny Face.

(edit: Curse you, Scola, and your demonically fast-typing fingers!)

Just thinking about that ad gives me hives.

I've kind of gotten used to it. I miss Audrey Hepburn.

This. My 10 y.o. son turns the TV off when it comes on because he says it creeps him out.
