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.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

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.
Just shots of Charlie Bucket, then.
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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
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!"
However nothing gets hooted at in this part of the country more than a misapplied New England accent or a bad attempt at same. Newsflash, folks - people with a trad Boston accent don't talk like the Kennedys.

How about one of the Davids (Cronenberg or Lynch)?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

There were only four. Sillyhead.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

OK, since it's in theme, I'll pimp myself: I just made about 5 Christmas movie mashup posters for my office door. [link]

I've seen plenty of that kind of thing online. And not even just at TWoP: [link]
Oh, hey, Jilli -- A friend just sent me something that I think you might adore. Is it okay to send you a pdf? It's not long, so if you fail to adore it (no pressure), it won't suck up a lot of time.
