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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Am I the only one with any Thunderheart love?

Nope. I like that one, too. I think VK has so much fun with his parts that he's hard not to enjoy watching.

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

I loved the relationship between Greene's and Kilmer's characters. "Fuck you, Crow Horse," remains a familiar rejoinder in the family lexicon. As does, "There ain't no word in Lakota for goodbye, Ray." And the hesitant, half-believing "...Jimmy?" when something possibly spooky happens.

So. I guess we didn't so much *love* Thunderheart as *incorporate* it, much like Pirates of Penzance, Ghostbusters, and Princess Bride.

How can you NOT love a six inch high Kevin Pollak????

And Rick Overton!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

TOP SECRET will always be my favorite Val Kilmer movie.

I heart Greene even more than Kilmer. And I was impressed with Sam Sheperd's steely baddie..."Nothing worse than a madman, thinks he's right with God." Or whatever Mal's quote is about characters like that.

"Officer down. We've got an officer down!"

[over radio] "Was the officer shot?"

"No, he was bit by a fuckin' badger."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I thought Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang was fantastic! It was funny, and snarky, and I loved the relationships between (among?) the three main characters, and it didn't break my heart at the end. Now I want to watch it again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

TMNT!

Okay for some reason, until watching the new trailer moments ago, I did not know the new TMNT movie was all animated. I thought it was going to be a Rodger Rabbit half and half thing again, and I just. was. not. interested.

Knowing it's all animated? I now want it more than almost anything I've ever wanted.
