Many thanks, all y'all. Appreciate the loan of your smarts.

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.

If I only had a brain...
We haven't even agreed on what the current war is called. "The war in Iraq" doesn't have that catchy ring.

I forget which movie it was, but some historical epic had a scene where a character ran into the room shouting, "The 30 Years War just started!"

The X-Men trailer is out: [link]
[eta: Don't the filmmakers know that you need S&M gear to turn Jean Grey evil? I'm so disappointed.]

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hm. Looks better than I'd feared. A rollicking good time, at least.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Things go boom. I'm cautiously interested.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm still totally pessimistic, but the trailer has gotten me to the point where I do intend to pay for a ticket for X3 when I see it.
Ultraviolet didn't prescreen for critics. Anyone know how bad it was?

DH saw it to review, and said it was fun for the first 20 minutes or so, and then got really stupid. He thought it was better than Underworld: Evolution. (He *really* hated Underworld.)
