I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

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.

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

I could live without the rest of 'em but Clive Owen is fucking fierce.

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

I found the massive time jumps really confusing, and it made it hard for me to follow the relationships and/or get any sense of them.

Clive Owen is fucking fierce.

I kind of want the scene where he explodes at Roberts on an endless loop so I can watch it whenever I want.

I didn't hate it, but it seemed like it was written for actors to perform, not for audiences to watch.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Owen owns the film, no doubt. He played the Law role onstage, which is cool.

Seriously! I have pulled the movie off OnDemand just to FF to that.

That's a good observation.

Hey. New board.

I really like that Damien Rice song. In fact, I'm listening to it right now, AIFG.

I actually didn't like it so much before when I listened to it following all the Damien Rice hype, but it was really well used in the movie. So now I like it a little more.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

You all knew Errol Flynn was pretty awesome, right? I saw The Sea Hawk today, and reconfirmed that awesomeness.

He is so awesome that, between Captain Blood (1934) and this one (1940) somebody took him aside and taught him how to really fight with a sword instead of dance around with one. More's the pity he's not fighting Basil Rathbone, and thus we don't get nearly as many full-body shots. (The villain couldn't fight for shit, so they had to double him. It was done very artily, with shadows and stuff.)
