Oh my.
I think if he'd been in the bear suit the whole time, it would be the greatest movie ever made.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Ever since Vampire's Kiss I've had a lot of respect for Nicolas Cage & his method acting. The script called for him to eat a cockroach and he insisted on doing it for real; even though he puked on the first take he did it again!
Of course it does feel kinda weird writing about my respect for Nicolas Cage while I can hear the trailer for Ghost Rider playing in the lobby.

What is even happening?
Oh my word. The whole reason I bought and watched the original version of The Wicker Man, was as a result of a series of conversations I with a good online friend of mine. She's a serious devotee and when she first found out Nic Cage was remaking it, there may have been talk of international intrigue and possible sabotage. Fortunately, she lives lives in the U.K., and isn't rich, so it was just talk. Clearly, her fears were on the money, though.
Why is he beating up all the girls? What's with the bees?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Ever since the first time I saw Return of the Jedi I decided that R2 was clearly the only one who understood the entirety of the let's go save Han plan. Certainly more than 3P0

C-3PO is basically a gay ditz in bondage pants, staggering around through the movie, fluttering his hands and yelping, "Oh my!"

Now tagless for your comfort.
25th Anniversary Edition of The Last Unicorn to be released in February.
There seems to be a featurette and a game but other than that, few extras.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

It's certainly believable. No way in hell was it Lucas' intent, but it definitely makes internal sense. I'm now tempted to re-watch the trilogy with that view in mind.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Wait, what pants? It was a whole bondage outfit.
Or else he was an escaped Bond girl from Goldfinger?

Yeah, but he walked like he had his bondage straps hooked up between both legs.
