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!

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.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I just saw The Illusionist last night! I thought the first hour was a little boring, but definitely sped up nicely at the end. I liked Norton the best I'd ever liked him, and Paul Giamatti was great. Jessica Biels was serviceable.
Elias Koteas is a friend of Bob Bob's brother-- a nice guy, apparently, FWIW. I liked him in Zodiac.

Elias Koteas was the lead in The Prophecy--not too bad, but the angels were all designed to be the memorable ones in the film, not him or Virginia Madsen.

but the angels were all designed to be the memorable ones in the film, not him or Virginia Madsen.
As Matt likes to note, it's the movie where Christopher Walken isn't the scariest person on screen. (That honor going to Viggo.)
Elias is (for me) always Vaughn in Crash (the J.G. Ballard one of kinky car wreck sex, not the spinach movie)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just got back from seeing The Host. It's just your average Korean comedy-horror-family-anti-pollution-coming-of-age-satire, the perfect film for my first outing since surgery. Really great film and I can recommend it wholeheartedly to most Buffistas.

This question:
4) Favorite Michael Powell/Emeric Pressburger movie
from the quiz MADE me rewatch "A Matter of Life and Death" last night. Oh the hardship. Was the young David Niven ever more charming? And that's saying something.
It's was SO's first P&P movie. His comment: "abgefahren", which translates as cool, spacy, way-out, wicked. Yeah, he gets it.
