Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

Does anybody else think it's silly that Musicals are paired with Comedies by default?

I suppose, but I'm still more concerned with the fact that the Globes have followed in the lame footsteps of the Oscars in giving animated films a separate category. If it's hard to field five nominees, give the category a rest, especially at the GG where there is the Comedy/Musical category so that they don't have to compete with "serious" films.

Hey. New board.

Yeah. None of the movies were spectacular this year - so why should they get a reward? I mean, The Lion King won the Comedy/Musical award the year it came out, and so did Toy Story 2. The Golden Globes has been pretty good about awarding good animated flicks in that category.

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

We didn't do it!

A high-definition format movie has made its way onto BitTorrent. A pirated copy of the hit science fiction movie Serenity has been ripped from a HD DVD disc and made available to users of the popular P2P file sharing protocol.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's the signal, mei mei.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The one that can't be stopped?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I like this part:

the hit science fiction movie Serenity

HIT.

Is this the first HD movie to be pirated? Is that like an award?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It is, Zenkitty. Whedonesque has been following the story. I'm not sure if it's a laudable occurrence, but it certainly gets the name out, and people are taking the thematic connotations very seriously.

Has this been linked to here? A great interview with Del Toro: [link]

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So I finally saw Raising Arizona.

Er.

That was weird. Often dumb. But always strange and a little off-kilter. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. My favorite thing about it was Leonard Smalls.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
