Plus, Iain Softley made two of my favourite flicks in the 90's -- the Beatles RPF "Backbeat" and a gorgeous adaptation of "The Wings of the Dove."
He made 'The Skeleton Key' too, which I thought was great, thinking which makes me feel lonely.
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
LIVE ACTION UNDERDOG????
WTF?!? Is nothing sacred to these people?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've seen the Bridge to Terabithia trailer a few times now, and...I'm confused.

Well, you see, there's this bridge and...
More seriously, they're remaking it? Huh.

Seriously, watch this and tell me if you recognize anything from the book.
I mean, I know Narnia made a lot of money and all, but...no! Just, no!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

It's been ages and ages since I read the book, but I seem to recall Terabithia was clearly imaginary, unlike Narnia where it's obvious the children actually went there.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Every time I see that railer, I think "ONE OF THEM DIES!!!!" and get scared for parents taking their kids to this movie, as the book is a big tearjerker.

Hmm. Just watched Near Dark. Why do we have to have happy endings? Or, really, why don't I get to decide what happy is?
The whole cure vampirism via transfusion was by far the weakest part of the movie. By light years, even. So. Lame.
How would you have ended it? I didn't want Caleb or the Jenny Wright character to die, so I probably would have had it pretty much the way it did, except the two of them stay vamped and go out on the road together. Of course, how they feed going forward if they don't want to kill people is the main reason the filmmakers came up with the blood ex machina, I suspect.
