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

Leprechaun?

Yes.

Sheep in earmuffs?

Think younger sheep.

I can't help you with basket-head or monkeys. The only monkey movies I can think of are 2001 and Planet of the Apes

[Oh Jesus H Christ in a chicken basket. Monkeys.]

I just knew those clues would be an x-post!

Re: the reaper. I assumed "circle" was involved, but I finally googled Stephen King. Is it The Dead Zone? Because, if not, I really don't think I'll ever get it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

D'oh, d'oh, d'oh, and d'oh.

Kicking self, as recommended.

Now down to 1 missing, and missing in the sense that I cannot find the damn thing anywhere in the painting. And if anyone's mentioned one I haven't gotten, the reference just blew right by me.

Matt, in the upper right quadrant of the painting, between the field with burning letters and the steeple, there's a collection of howling wolves that seems to be easy to miss. Is that it?
