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.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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.

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.

The trailers make it look amazingly cool, but apparently it is not.

the dialogue is cheesy, the acting is mediocre and the plot is pointless.
plus, it's always raining. i guess that was supposed to make it creepy. or something. it's even more ridiculous when it's constantly raining and the main character is driving a convertible with the top down for pretty much the whole movie.
Taylor in his skivvies though? hum. in. a.

We got a sitter & went to see Children of Men tonight. I'm still a bit blown away to actually write anything cogent about it.

They did? They must have played different trailers than the ones I saw,which made it look like a DavidDeCoteau movie with a vastly bigger SFX and soundtrack budget.

Much like A Life Less Ordinary, I find that that movie is gold when Holly Hunter is on screen and very questionable when she's not.
