Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Describe them? I got some of those. But I'm only 25/50 right now.

The ones I still don't have figured out:

The fish swallowing a string of pearls or something in the lower left hand corner.

The three children dancing in a circle.

The woman wrangling two kids.

The guy with a lantern.

The guy in a straight jacket (it's not "The Jacket").

The three people looking at a map.

The group of people wearing zeroes and arguing.

The green M&M in the blue dress.

The stairs.

The pile of jack-o-lanterns.

Beej:

You're so close to the answer for the group of signs, it's not even funny.

Also, Beej?

The planets? While the answer is not When Worlds Collide (which I thought it was at first, too), one of those words is in the title of the film that is the correct answer.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hee! Hi Aims. We had fun striking everything yesterday. And it went quick, too.

"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

I haven't figured out:

The planets

The fish swallowing a string of pearls or something in the lower left hand corner

The guy with the telescope in the rickety building

The three children dancing in a circle

The guy in a straight jacket

The guy with baskets on his head and feet

The three people looking at a map

the bats

the dark tunnel

And 1 other that I'm not spotting at all.

Compassionately intolerant

Sean! You rock. Okay, now I'm at 39.

About the not!fish in the lower left corner look at what it is and what it is in.

The mnm on the stairs what is she wearing?

The guy in the straitjacket is a a what, pejoratively?

The kids are doing what?

I'm completely lost on the group with the zeroes, too. At first I thought The Devil's Rejects but that is clearly not the case. Perhaps they aren't actually zeroes.

Oh, and the juggled pennies? I got nothing.

Look at the number of pennies.

Those aren't zeroes, they're Os.

Because books.

Someone linked to this about two weeks ago, and it took me and the husband and two kids to get most of them.

The three children dancing in a circle

Think of other ways children play.

move out and draw fire

50/50, baybee! Thanks to dcp.

Beej: don't overengineer your first one. That was a "duh" for me also, when I described the clue out loud.

I don't think the M&M is anything other than the Lynch movie. The stairs are something else.

And yeah, it says "Dark" movies, but one isn't even a movie, per se, and one, maybe two, are comedies.

Sean: the fish swallowing a string of pearls is more about the surrounding than the specifics of the "fish"

Some of the rest of yours were the last ones I got also. I got a couple by running through famous horror movie titles and realizing what matched.

The three people looking at a map

They are more specific than "people." Look at their age and gender, and what they are.

Don't overengineer these:

The three children dancing in a circle. (playing ring around the rosie maybe, or another game?)

The woman wrangling two kids. (what is a woman with kids?)

The guy in a straitjacket.

The stairs.

The pile of jack-o-lanterns. (when do jack-o-lanterns happen?)

Endgame ones for me were the tunnel mouth, the big roach, the blue dress, and the aforementioned Ring Around the Reaper and the two dudes. (I thought "The Odd Couple" was a dark movie!)
