Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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.

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

Jill Wagner considered for Wonder Woman?

Man, from the headlines I totally thought it was Jessica Biel, who's my current favourite for the role. Jill's okay, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Barton Fink is probably my fav Coen Bros. But I love the whole screenwriter in hollywood hell genre: Sunset Blvd., In a Lonely Place, The Player, The Big Picture, Mullholland Drive (director in that one), all the writer's scenes in Action...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That's the most obnoxious site since the pictures of Aunty Entity.

Cinema Blend? It only looks averagely obnoxious to me. Is it a popup thing?

The popup tried to install MS Access on my machine and the page had two aggressively blinking ads the first time I clicked on it. But not the second time. So it's not as bad as Aunty Entity.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I loved Barton Fink for many reasons, but have no idea what Faulkner's ghost did to piss the Coens off so much. Their treatment of The Man made certain segments of that movie too painful to watch.

"Where's mah honey!!!!"

I love W.P. Mayhew/Faulkner. Such a dark, bitter, witty, crazed character. That whole business with Mahoney and Judy Davis is amazing, both in writing and performance.

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

no idea what Faulkner's ghost did to piss the Coens off so much.

And was it better or worse than what the ghost of Clifford Odets did to piss them off too.

Odets deserved it! Florid romantic working man bullshit turns into instant hack in Hollywood. He did it to support his family, sure, but he still became a horrible hack.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
