Too bad all those ads for Norbett will be airing when Academy Voters are trying to make up their minds about Best Supporting Actor... or just the right amount of bad, if you share my opinion of Murphy.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

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.

Dark Knight is supposedly filming in Baltimore. There will be much Bale stalking.

So there was an article about Sundance in today's Globe and they had a bit about the movie Adrienne Shelly had directed before she was murdered (WAITRESS). Did anyone else know that Nathan Fillion was one of the male leads in the movie? Did he blog about this (or myspace or whatever the rut he does)? It's also got Keri Russell, Jeremy Sisto, Shelly, and Andy Griffith (!??!?!??!?) in it. Huh.
On an unrelated note (that should proabably go in the music thread, but it was on the same page of the Globe as the Sundance article), did anyone else know The Police were going on a reunion tour? Did Sting(k) finally realize why he used to be cool?

It creeps me out extra to read that she was murdered given that I saw her in that last scene with Bayliss so many times saying it made her feel good to know that if she got killed. he'd be there. I hope whoever caught the case did a good job on it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I hope whoever caught the case did a good job on it.
IIRC, they have gotten the murderous asshole who did it, but not so much because of brilliant detecting as because he was not only a murderous asshole but also the living embodiment of the H:LOTS adage that crime makes you stupid.
Such an utterly stupid, cruel, pointless loss. Not that any murder is ever a good thing, but... Adrienne Shelly -- new-ish mom Adrienne Shelly, no less, over a stupid, stupid dispute with a stupid thug of a neighbor. Fucking hell.

What JZ said. Everything I heard about it was "How can such stupid, vile people exist?" It was dumb, apart from being horrific.

Well, that's mostly what they are. I don't know whether to be consoled or disgusted by the relative absence of Hannibal Lecters out there. I'm really sorry to hear that... What kind of society is this, Frank? I'm glad they made the case, though.ETA: It's weird, because of some work she did...God, 15 years ago, she's sort of enshrined for me as The Cutest Little Pervert in The World. And for her, that was what? A week or two out of her life, that maybe occasionally she talked about on the street with a freak like me. But every time I take my jacket out of the closet, I think of her anyway, and how, really, horsehide's warmer. I don't know where I'm going with that except that maybe we affect people in ways we don't even know.(It's not quite as weird as it sounds...living in the desert, I don't use the leather all that much. )

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We saw Letters from Iwo Jima last night. It was too long--the last 30 minutes seem to go on FOREVER, but there were some incredible performances and beautifully shot battle set-pieces.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Emily, JZ, and I saw Kiss Kiss Bang Bang last night. OMG with the hilarity. LOVED.
