I'll dink with it. The final game won't be web-based, but I made the webpages 800x600. I will upsize them.
OK, they are sort of crappy grainy photos now, but hopefully better.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

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.

Raq -- I have a different thing to whine about: the picture of the hanger(s) makes my eyes go bendy because... well, I think it's two hangers, but they overlap enough to look like one blurry hanger. Anyway, my guesses:
A 26; B 21; C 6; D ?; E 16; F 11; G 27; H 19; I 15; J 3; K ?; L 20; M 13; N 14; O ?; P 5; Q 4; R 7

I will change the hanger image, if I leave that one in.
Feedback? Too easy? Pictures need changes?

My answers to the Monster Slaying quiz are:
J-3, L-20, Q-4, F-11, A-26, N-14, B-21, I-15, R-7, G-27, E-16 (that one made me laugh), D-23, K-22... or possibly 2 if you're using the book ending,
And that's all I can get. If weapon 25 is a big rock, it's my best guess for what to use on Micheal Myers. Maybe the sun again, if I can use weapons twice. If 6 is the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, I might try that on Great Cthulhu, but if that didn't work, I think I might be screwed. Not sure what to use on the harpy or the horned cyclops, and I'm not really sure what monster C is.

Oh, I think it's a good mix, with some that are easy and some where you really have to know the movies (like H/19) . I did have the same issue Sean did with K, where I wasn't sure if it was the book or the movie. I might change the picture for 22 to a torch, because I kept trying to figure out if it was just a fire or if there was something in the fire. And 13 might be the trickiest weapon -- I suddenly realized what movie it was probably from, but I had to Google to make sure since I hadn't seen it. And C might be the hardest monster to identify, but everyone knows the movie (so that's a clue, Sean!) so it balances out.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We just saw The Departed.
Just...it's good. It's a fucking good movie. It's 2 hours and 20 minutes and the time flies by. DiCaprio, who usually bugs me, was incredible. Terrific, profane, nuanced script. Just really really good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is it better than Infernal Affairs? I feel I ought to see that first. It's like reading the book before watching the adaptation, somehow.

I saw The Science of Sleep this afternoon. Very interesting and fanciful movie. Also, a sort of rebuttal to all those crazy-freespirited-chick-teaches-male-lead-how-to-live-and-love movies. I loved the stop motion dream sequences.

Art Crawl!!!
Oh, I've seen trailers for that movie on tv -- it looks like fun.

I really should remember not to rewatch the Misadventures of Margaret when it comes on. I normally adore Parker Posey, but in that movie her character's desperate quest to find someone, anyone with whom she can cheat on Jeremy Northam's devoted husband character makes me want to knock the stupid right out of her. And I don't know if they make sledgehammers big enough for the job.
