Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

This was the "not a movie." TV show.

Well, I'm dashed.

Kicked my butt, too, but

Err, it looks black to me.

There are three?
No there aren't. Check your math. And think of topographical terms.

The space beneath the lady is a particular shade. Think about the theme of this exercise and perhaps about diesel.

The guys back to back flummoxed me until someone upthread (thank you!) mentioned one of the stars. She's someone we here know very, very well.

Erm? There are three?

No. Your count is high. And it's the very top of the mountain. The pinnacle, perhaps. Or even the.....

And count again.

the cavernous entrance underneath screaming lady

It's very, very, very dark in there.

the dude with the lantern,

What is the lantern doing?

and the guys back to back.

They look unhappy with each other. Like there might be some bad blood between them. Some issue left unresolved.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

OK, I don't know what I was smoking about the orange roof. It isn't anything. The last clue is that tunnel-looking entrance and Raq's hint helped me get it.

Woo-hoo! Done. What an excellent time-waster. Thank goodness I wasn't planning on working much today.

I'm still missing the mountain

Famous as a TV show first. The same director made the film that one of the M&Ms represented

the cavernous entrance underneath screaming lady

What colour is the cavernous entrance?

the guys back to back

They won't look at each other because they are bearing a ____

Yes, but what kind of black ?

I'm at 45, after using hints for 5. And two of the ones I'm still stuck on are ones nobody else has even mentioned, so now I feel dumb.

But I will persevere! Well, for a little longer.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

And two of the ones I'm still stuck on are ones nobody else has even mentioned

Oh, good. Which ones? New clues for us to think up.

Which ones are you stuck on, Strega?

Also? I still can't figure out Crazy!Guy. Vonnie's hints about bank robbery and oedipal complex aren't bringing anything to mind.

And count again.

Oh! Duh!

It's very, very, very dark in there.

Yeah, I got that by looking at IMDb titles, and it hit me.

What is the lantern doing?

Lighting the way?

They look unhappy with each other. Like there might be some bad blood between them. Some issue left unresolved.

Oh! This plus Beej's hint helped.

So now I'm just missing lantern guy.

Sean, you are going to KICK yourself when you figure this one out. Here's another hint: we just discussed this movie in here recently, in regards to its "remake."
