I can't stop watching this 300 PG version trailer.

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.

Thrive to spite them
I was watching hockey the other night and I heard the 300 trailer come on. Only it's not. It's some bad hybrid NHL 300 trailer. And at the end where the characters are standing and looking up, it's at the Stanley Cup instead of whatever is in the movie.
It's very random and I suppose whoever is in charge of marketing thought "two great tastes that'll taste great together!" but instead of Reece's Peanut butter cups it looks like a crappy crossover vid that should be set to System of a Down.

Because books.
I finally saw The Illusionist and loved it. For me, it worked beautifully as a kind of fable, which is true to Steven Millhauser's writing, and the performances, as well the aim of the film, were dead on. Much less convoluted than The Prestige, plot-wise, but also less simple than it appeared on the surface, I think.
Plus, I love Edward Norton, and Jessica Biel susprisingly didn't make me want to puke. Anyone want to discuss?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Amy, my mom just lent me that movie, and I'm hoping to watch it tonight/tomorrow. I'd love to discuss once done.

Yay!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And then the sandworms never show up again.
Wait, doesn't one show up at the end of the movie? To, you know, eat Beetlejuice?
I can't stop watching this 300 PG version trailer.
That's hilarious!

hip deep in pie
That quiz made me realize that I have not been exercising my movie muscles. I've hardly been watching or thinking about movies lately. I have to change that.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm watching Teenage Mutant Ninjas III and realize I have an unholy love for Elias Koteas.

I have that same love Cashmere, except that it comes from watching Atom Egoyan films.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
My unholy love for Elias Koteas comes from him playing Ducan from Some Kind of Wonderful (the character is a total prototype for Weevil from Veronica Mars). I'm somehow not as ashamed of this as I should be.
