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.

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

Well, I laughed, but then I'm a ginormous film nerd. LOVED the movie and all of its smartness and funniness and energy and charm. I will defintely add it to my collection when it comes out.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

One of them was The Man in the Moon.

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

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

They showed a trailer for "Run, Fatboy, Run" and while it had funny moments, it just didn't have a premise that really interested me.

I may be misreading but Run, Fatboy, Run has no involvement from Wright or Frost or anyone from that whole set but Pegg. I think David Schwimmer directed it.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I thought it said it was from the same producers, or maybe the same production company, which really means nothing. Probably why I looked at it and went "bleah."

The evil is this way?

They are filming some of the "Batman" sequel here in Chicago. (Because Chicago naturally looks just like Gotham.) And they sorta, kinda, set fire to the place -- well part of it. The story is a wee bit spoilerish about some general plot details, like the identity of costumed bad guy and one of his capers.

hey! They were supposed to be filming that in B'more. My friends and I had big Bale stalking plans. (Maybe they are still going to film some of it here...we definitely have some Gotham-looking bits.)

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

(Because Chicago naturally looks just like Gotham.)

It does in the current movie Batverse -- they filmed the first one there too.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I was going to say, that movie always makes me wonder what it would be like if Gotham *was* Chicago.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That's silly, because Gotham = NYC, Metropolis = Chicago.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Gotham = NYC, Metropolis = Chicago.

This is weird to me, I would have pegged them opposite. (I'm not a comics reader, though, so my viewpoint may be skewed...)
