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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, one more Hot Fuzz thing I wanted to ask!

At both of the screenings we went to, DH and I were practically the only ones in the theatre laughing at the line "Forget it Nick, it's Sanford."

So my question to the Buffista hivemind is, is it really that obscure a reference, or just not as funny as we thought it was?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's not obscure.

The evil is this way?

That line may be too obscure for the audience (although I got it). Maybe it's not a great fit for that point in the movie.

Too obscure for me. Is it a TV ref, a book ref, a movie ref?

"Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown."

Aaah. I'm not sure I even saw it, only clips on other shows.

Okay, I just rewatched Chinatown last week and I went huh? at Jessica's post. But I can be dense that way.

In other Jessica news, she's just as cute pregnant, and her new place is fab to boot! Also? The Lives of Others is every bit as good as she said it was.

I realized after I saw Hec's post that I'd gotten it slightly wrong anyway. (Pegg/Wright/Frost didn't.)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

okay, either dan radcliffe has a weird, weird face, or his haircut in OOTP is actually *less* flattering than his GOF haircut, which is kind of a feat in and of itself.

My 8th-grade niece is not a fan of the new haircuts (not just DR's, but Grint's as well), just because all the guys she knows have longer hair now, so the shorter cut doesn't fit with the current fashion.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

One year for Christmas, my sister gave me a pack of Sad Chick Flicks. One of them was The Man in the Moon.

I called her, sobbing, last night after finally watching it.

I told her she was a horrible sister for giving me something so sad to watch.
