BARBEAU-BOT!
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I often wonder if directors like Bergman or Lang had had access to all the technological geegaws available to directors today, if they would have made better or worse movies. Much of their brillance, it seems to me, is because they don't pile on the excess.
The famous final shot in The Seventh Seal wasn't planned. He saw the light, and everybody scrambled up the hill to get it in before the sun went down. I think his approach to filmmaking necessarily included some improvisation and spontaneity.

Isn't actually stage hands you see in silhouette, because the actors had gone for the day. I think I heard that somewhere. (Probably here.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

You know that part when Spacey walks out of the bathroom, brushing his teeth and says, "Lois Lane?" with the toothbrush still in his mouth?--that was awesome! I liked it better than DH.

Cash, that was one of my favorite parts!! And I loved how they had Lois i still asking how to spell words!
Joe like Kate Bosworth BETTER than Margo Kidder. And I STG, there were times when Brandon Roush looked and sounded JUST LIKE Christopher Reeves. It was SPOOKY.
Of course, I got Joe the special edition so we watched the movie and then about 1459 hours of "The Making Of..."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I was unmoved by Superman Returns but then I've always found Supes kind of meh.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
My biggest problem with SR (I rewatched this weekend as well) was that Kate Bosworth was too young. Routh probably isn't that much older than her, but for some reason Supes looking young doesn't ping me as much as a woman who was supposed to have completed college, established herself as a key reporter for a major city newspaper, and has a child who is five, in that order.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My biggest problem with SR (I rewatched this weekend as well) was that Kate Bosworth was too young.
Totally agree, though it (surprisingly) didn't actively bother me while I was watching it.
I was initially concerned about Routh because I didn't know if he could carry the film, but he really impressed me.
