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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm stuck at 13/20.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Still missing three-- I can't think of a movie where someone was run over by a truck with the exception of Meet Joe Black, which apparently isn't it; the esoteric staple removers; and the highlighters on either side of a one way street.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think I am ready for clues...

1. man murdered with embosser

2. group of staple removers

3. Highlighters, markers and whiteout on a road

4. Soviet Ship

5. Man run over by truck.

1 and 4 on this list I am pretty sure I know and am just being stupid. The other ones I am just lost.

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

I can't think of a movie where someone was run over by a truck

I thought it was A Fish Called Wanda , but no.

4. Soviet Ship

That's pretty much all you need to know. It looks a lot like the vessel in question.

Because books.

Sophia, for #1 it's a movie starring Signourney Weaver and Tom Skerritt. For #4, it's a Tom Clancey book.

Oooh! Is the group of staplers Gangs of New York? I can't think of many other movies with a bigger budget than Ocean's Eleven.

So frustrating.

1. man murdered with embosser

Not "murdered with," "killed by" what the embosser represents. Further hint: sci-fi/horror

4. Soviet Ship

Not a ship, but definitely Sovient and definitely nautical

5. Man run over by truck.

The white fonted clue for #1 also applies to this movie.
