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
How'd your meeting yesterday go?
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.

Whaddya mean have to? It was the funniest movie of 2006!
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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
He's really sticking it to The Man, if by "The Man" you mean "women."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
M. Night Shyamalan is apparently going to do a live-action version of Sunil's beloved "Avatar: The Last Airbender".
I keep expecting someone to tell me it's a joke. And I actually like M. Night, for the most part. But he and Avatar go together like oil and...Satan.

I just found out that omnis_audis has never seen Shaun of the Dead. We're watching it at my house Monday night unless someone with a bigger TV invites us over. Did any of you LAistas manage to miss this gem?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I used to be excited about the thought of a movie version of The Dark is Rising. Now, I'm just heartbroken.

move out and draw fire
OMGWTFAMERICAN?!?!?!
Is that so the Dark can all be British, so the accents tell us who's evil? What about Merriman? Is he going to be American also? Maybe he'll be a Magical Negro (since they clearly haven't read the books).
And, why screw with the family dynamics?
I like this comment about Bran: "He's not albino, just really blond dude."
