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

The Departed -- very good, not great. (Not as good as the original, and an hour longer. Excellent performances all around, but not much going on beneath the surface.)

Man of the Year -- sucktastic. The only laughs (and they are few and far betwen) come from Robin Williams recycling his old stand up material. The script is spectacularly dense when it comes to satirizing both politics and media. I'm honestly not sure what planet Levinson was living on when he wrote this.

move out and draw fire

I've always thought that DiCaprio looked like Jack Nicholson, and my husband can't keep Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg straight, so I'm amused that they are all cast together.

I really don't want to imagine a Bay remake of Near Dark. Will no one think of the children?!?!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

So I guess in this version there will be lots of exploding oil wells in Texas?

You just know Bay's going to cast some vapid model-actress that couldn't convincingly intimidate a toddler in the Jenette Goldstein role. And one of those cutesy sitcom kids from Everybody Loves Raymond as Homer.

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

I'm really interested to see the departed. For some reason I never thought DiCaprio and Damon would ever be in a movie together, but I'm happy to be proved wrong.

Yep. Adrian Pasdar (Profit). Jeanette Goldstein and Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton (Aliens). And that girl.

Plus that seriously creepy kid (and Jean/Gene from QUARK).

Because books.

Yep. Adrian Pasdar (Profit). Jeanette Goldstein and Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton (Aliens). And that girl.

And ... and Jenny something, who was in The Wall as the girl Pink took home during "One of My Turns". Weird thing to remember.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Has anyone posted about this yet?

And more importantly, has anyone told Jilli about it?

Ooooh, look at that. Well, I guess I know what I'm going to be taking a look at when I get home from work tonight.
