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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh! Has anyone seen the previews for Grindhouse? It was like travelling back in time to a 70s drive-in theater. With one scene, Rose McGowan has completely wiped the stain of Charmed off her career.
Also, the trailer for Room 1408 shows that Stephen King's best, scariest short story has been Hollywoodized into two hours of shit jumping out at you and yelling "BOO!". It looked like a train-wreck merger of Panic Room and 13 Ghosts. Ugh.

I just watched some trailers for Grindhouse a day or two ago and OH MY GOD YES. I wanna have a sleazy movie marathon to prepare.
Actually, that might be a good reason to resume stalking Joe Bob. Hm.
Jessica, give my compliments to Fonebone, because I'm still giggling.

Now tagless for your comfort.
That's a genius review. And it's saved me $18 in movie tickets since DH wanted to see it. My thanks to Fonebone.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm thinking an LAistas Grindhouse outing (oh please may they play it in the Cinerama Dome) is in order.

I've heard that both Rodriguez's and Tarantino's parts are going to be about 90 minutes each, and they are going to have fake preview and intermission stuff, so, while a long night at the movies, it will probably be a monster hoot, and totally emulating a drive-in (or, from what I've read, old school Times Square) double bill. I love that they distressed the "celluloid" for the preview.

You mean the movies themselves weren't actually shot that way? Considering the directors, I wouldn't put it past them...

Ugh. It really bugs me because I'm watching it in the theatre I work in and my first instinct is to run upstairs and tell the projectionist the print is about to get stuck in the machine! Of course even watching Fight Club at home the millionth time I get a little freaked when they show the sprocket holes.

edit: According to the imdb they were intentionally aged. I guess projectionists everywhere are off the hook or will they carefully audit for any additional scratches after we return the print?
