Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

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.

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

the bad Cockney accent makes him froth with rage.

If you have a videocamera, I might be willing to pay money to see this.

Golden Dawn

I think I have my goldens mixed up -- not the South American communist paramilitary organization?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

the bad Cockney accent makes him froth with rage.

This kind of cracks me up. Partly cause I can see him grinding his teeth and making *THAT* face, but also partly because IMExperience, I've never heard an American say, "That was the worst Southern accent I've ever heard! She sounded Georgian and she is clearly suppoed to be from Alabama!"

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

I know this is pretty similar to the same comment above, but I'm serious: I want to see the trailer that makes Charlie and the Chocolate Factory look like a children's movie.

No - the Theosophists.

Just shots of Charlie Bucket, then.

Tempting, tempting ...

And the candy room!

My little brother and I used to try to recreate it with building blocks and tissue paper.

If you go to the Bellagio they have the largest functional chocolate waterfall in America. (It's pretty small compared to Wonkaland, but still...chocolate waterfall! Okay, it's more of a fountain.)

I've been trying to think who would be a good director to do a re-make of Mary Poppins. I mean, sure, my default suggestion is Tim Burton, but that's because I'm a huge fan of his work. I just wonder if there would be someone even better suited for my dream movie project.

The ones where he looks poor or the ones where he's terrified?

Honestly, six elderly relatives in a bed? That movie gave my effing nightmares.
