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.
I used to be excited about the thought of a movie version of The Dark is Rising. Now, I'm just heartbroken.
I...but...what? Why? WHO? WHY WHY WHY?
What is my problem? I post in Music when I want Movies and Movies when I want Music!
You're craving musicals?
...that casting call is evil and wrong. I am sad. After the awesomeness that was the Chronic(what?)cles of Narnia, I keep wanting all of my childhood fantasies to be good movies.
I'm fascinated by the reviews of Tideland.
How can a movie that inspires that much upset be meritless? I mean, the tone of the reviews isn't just that the movie is bad, there's a moral tone of revulsion and disapproval. As if Gilliam gets his grimy little nails under their psyche.
But I haven't seen it. It may be utter twaddle, or a droning bore.
Did anybody see it? Jess?
It may be utter twaddle, or a droning bore.
This was pretty much E's reaction, IIRC. I didn't see it myself.

We just got back from seeing Pan's Labyrinth.
Wow. Just, um, wow. Jess, what was it you wanted to talk to me about, waaaaay back when you saw it?
I'm seeing it today!
