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.

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

(and a very young, but already stunning Elizabeth Taylor played the poor doomed Helen, IIRC.)

You recall correctly. Poor, doomed, gets-her-hair-whacked-off Helen.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

It's like "you might be a redneck", only in scarlet and midnight black!!

I need to build a little shrine for this sentence.

(Oh, and for the record: I couldn't stand Wuthering Heights.)

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Hey, what's The Libertine about anyway? And why will it be one of the most controversial movies of the year?

I could Google, I guess, but I think Buffista-ing it will produce more interesting answers....

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

I heard it's a crappy movie, and that stays with me more than anything else.

Art Crawl!!!

It's about the 2nd Earl of Rochester.

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

I think this is the third time it's been released -- they keep trying, and it keeps bombing.

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

I think this is the third time it's been released -- they keep trying, and it keeps bombing.

I also heard that while the title is appropriate for the man it's about, you wouldn't really know that from the movie - at least not from what they show you, as opposed to tell you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was going to say -- that movie hasn't come out yet?
