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.

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

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

Damn, what was that quote from BARCELONA?

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

Why is he beating up all the girls? What's with the bees?

Because, unlike the original, the remake is entirely about what Neil Labutte thinks the world would be like if women were allowed to be in charge. Apparently it involves bees. And bad acting.

Seriously?! "My eyes! My eyes!!!"

Seriously. (And I can't believe they left out "Ow, my legs!" but I guess you can't have everything.)

Did you have to watch it, Jess?

eta...

You know, before I saw the YouTube clip, I assumed Cage had taken on the role of Lord Summerisle. What weird casting.

Great, I think. They've been calling my professional references today (I think to make sure my job is stable, since I work in "the arts"...), but didn't indicate that there would be a problem.

Hee. I just meant as a spousal obligation.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I heard Neil LaBute was raised in a fundie mormon culture & this remake of Wicker Man is actually a thinly veiled critique of fundamentalism in general and mormonism in particular. Unfortunatley I haven't seen it.

Eh...I don't see it. Unless he thinks celebrating blatant raging misogyny is somehow a valid critique of fundamentalist Mormonism, in which case all of his movies count.
