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.

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

it's based on Ilsa The She-Wolf which is a real movie about an evil Nazi sex bomb.

Without werewolves. So no happy.

Just watch it in a double bill with Werewolves on Wheels.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

If my main reaction to the first half hour or so of Mirrormask was a nagging irritation with the lead character, is there any point in watching the rest?

Yes, the character is supposed to an irritating teenager in the beginning.

The story is her character arc so you may presume that she changes over the course of the story.

Okay, I guess I will give it another shot.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Also Alexander Siddig. Rrrrrrowr.

Mmm. Seconded.

Damn, he's one of those men who just gets hotter and hotter as he gets older.

Just got back from seeing Grindhouse at the honest-to-God drive-in cinema, with the sound coming over my car's AM radio and everything. Oh, such fun. Though I was surprised that Death Proof was my favorite over Planet Terror.

Then again, had I known it involved Tracie Thoms as a kickass hard-driving stuntwoman beforehand, it would have been obvious. For me to enjoy a character more than I did Kim, it would probably have to be played by Ben Browder and involve frontal nudity .

Werewolf Women of the SS may have finally found the role Nicholas Cage was born to play. At least I was entertained by his presence for the first time since Raising Arizona . .

Yes! Though I liked him when he took a turn for the badassed on DS9, he's ripened very nicely.

It's funny--Baltar no longer reminds me of him. I realise that Baltar was reminding me of his doctor character, and Bashir no longer dominates my Siddiq thoughts.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Just got back from seeing Blades of Glory and 300. BofG is not as good as Talladega Nights but it was mildly funny nonetheless. Will Arnett and everyone's costumes were my two favorite parts. The 300 was purty and ab-tastic but awfully one-dimensional. And predictable--fight, regroup, rinse, repeat.

True, I found McConaughey completely lacking in hotness, which is odd considering how the bald-with-tattoos thing can sometimes move me. But the rest...

Every time I see an ad for 300 I start laughing uncontrollably. It's like those Travolta pictures from Battlefield Earth, good for a random chortle when I'm feeling glum.
