I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you! Especially those of you in the jury!
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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!
Toy Story / Requiem for a Dream mashup.
Very nice! It took me almost a minute to realize the dialogue was from the movie too. It matched up way too perfectly.
"Say it right! Say it riiight!"
Heeeee.

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!"
I think I've made this comment online, but only when people from Eastern Carolina (e.g. the Scarlett O'Hara accent) are supposed to be from Mississippi or Alabama (e.g. the, uh, Sling Blade accent).
Heh, S, who is from Texas, is always critiquing southern accents on TV.

Hey. New board.
I LOVE the Requiem for a Dream / Toy Story mashup. It makes me want to watch both of those movies again. Not serially, though. And not alone (Requiem for a Dream, alone, in my dorm room, at 3 in the morning, was the WORST IDEA EVER. It f'ed me up but good.)

I finally watched the Scary Mary trailer--brilliant!! The use of "Stay Awake" was perfect.
Raq, I loved the Murder on the Polar Express poster! I just watched my DVD of Orient Express a few weeks ago (one of my all-time favorite mystery movies: "There are tooooo many cluuuues in this roooooom.")

Speaking of trailer smashups, Salon's Video Dog page has "Sesame Streets" (aka "Sesamean Streets"). Hilarious!

Yet another edited trailer, Mary Poppins as a horror film.
My mom would feel so vindicated by that.
Same here. I try not to watch it when Pete is in the room, because the bad Cockney accent makes him froth with rage.
A few months back I looked in on a TwoP forum where they were discussing worst accents of all time, and remarked that I was surprised the release of the Mary Poppins DVD in Britain didn't spark angry riots over Dick Van Dyke's accent.
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.
It's a pity Val Lewton is dead. How about Frank LaLoggia?

The very last line cracked me up.
My nitpick: I don't think Shawshank Redemption should be in there at all. Being on TNT a hundred times a year does not automatically make something a classic. And, okay, Big Lebowski shouldn't be included either, but the punchline was worth it... so I guess my nitpick is that they shouldn't have used the word "classic" in the first place.
