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.

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

Val Kilmer can definitely act, Juilliard education and all. I think he tends to be a little...difficult...to work with, though. I remember reading something about how the first director on The Island of Dr. Moreau went barking mad as a result of working with Kilmer and went haring off into the outback, not to be seen for months.
That may have been the combination of working with Kilmer AND Brando, though.

Very very late to chime in here on Thunderheart which come to think of it, I could stand to watch again some time soon.

Compassionately intolerant
I've heard the same rumors about Kilmer's on-set behavior...and interviews with him seem to bear out his...um...otherness. Definitely marching to his own bongos.
Brando? Notorious!
I heard Eward Norton talking about working with his heroes, Brando and DeNiro on The Score. In a cafe scene, he's all nervous andafraid that he can't hold his own with these legends. With cameras rolling, Ed looks around and sees that Brando is oblivious to the bottled water he's pouring down the front of his shirt and DeNiro is asleep. So much for awe.
I'm amazed that Ed Norton has only made 20 movies! Credited anyway.

M. Night Shyamalan is apparently going to do a live-action version of Sunil's beloved "Avatar: The Last Airbender".
I haven't gotten around to seeing "Lady In the Water" yet, but I've been told that I'm not missing anything.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
OK, not P-C, but WTF? Knee-jerk reaction is that I'm against a live action version. Why? Why not just make a full-length movie that's animated?!?

KKBB fanfiction. Heavy on the gay, but that's not all of it. "Noir Enough" was amazing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
"Lady In the Water" started out good. Or interesting at least. Was curious to see where it'd go. Then M. Night appeared as the Glorious Writer Who Will Save The World, and my eyes rolled so hard I hurt myself, and then the movie became ridiculous. Practically every scene yanked me down from the suspension of disbelief I was trying so hard to keep aloft.
I fear what he will do with, or to, Avatar. It might be all right, though. He's a good director. As long as he doesn't write the script and he keeps his own heavy messages out of it, it could be good.

Art Crawl!!!
Are James Cromwell and M. Knight Shyamalan working on the same movie "Avatar"? Or are they two different movies?
