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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

JZ, you've not seen S3 of S&A yet? It's *amazing.* Unsurprisingly. Shoot me an email and I will try to hook you up.

Not JZ, but it won't air in the States until February. Care to hook a couple sisters up??

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

juliana is me with re the CFM. Except in months with Rs, the F and the M switch. That works, right?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think I'd have to pick Nathan as the M, since I've heard tales of backstage primadonna behavior from Paul Gross (though I've never heard of him being anything but wonderful to his fans). The prettiness of the latter would overcome just about anything for a single night, though.

Campbell gets chucked—I've never forgiven the man for sneering about Buffy as if it were beneath the lofty standards he upheld when signing up to work on Hercules and Jack of All Trades.

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

YouTube has an old Living Color sketch where Jim Carrey did a great Vanilla Ice

If it's the same one I remember, I fucking LOVE that sketch. To YouTube, away!

They're also trying to get him for the role of Paul in the remake of Dune.

This, however, makes me want to cry FOREVER.

Speaking of incandescent Eddie Murphy performances, Dreamgirls holds up better on rewatch than I thought it would. (Or possibly I was overestimating just how much my annoyance with the guild audience had interfered with my first viewing.) EM still steals absolutely every second he's onscreen.

Always Anti-fascist!

Still think of Eddie Murphy every time I want ice cream.

And your dad's an alcoholic.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

So...F/C/M: Paul Gross, Bruce Campbell, Nathan Fillion.

C - Bruce Campbell, though I had a huge thing for Brisco County Jr. when I was younger.
F - Paul Gross. Naughty smile, lip nibble, tongue thing, oh my.
M - Nathan Fillion, because by all accounts he is adorable and relatively normal and guh. Plus, you know, you get the F anyway.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So.

I almost had to divorce Joe last night. I was watching a PBS thingy on George Stevens. He had NO IDEA who George Stevens was.

I have instead told him that he is banned from ever watching movies again, unless he watches Gunda Din, A Place in the Sun, Giant, Shane, and The Diary of Anne Frank.

I know he's not a movie buff unless the films have some sort of space conveyance in them, but George Stevens ranks up there with Cecile B. DeMille and Orson Wells and Alfred Hitchcock as directors that changed not only how movies are made and viewed, but Hollywood itself.

Silly husband.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Who?

Oh, I wish I was joking.

George Stevens.

He started as a camera man in the early 1920's, filming in the west. Rex the King of the Horses, I believe it was called.

He went to Hollywood and started directing the Laurel and Hardy shorts and the rest, as they say, is cinematic history.

He directed Katherine Hepburn's first film, Alice Adams.
