the adventures of a temperamental mer-man
Was that the part that got you going, Debet? Because man, a phrase that would sink a thousand audiences, that.
We'd be dead. Can't get paid if you're dead.

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.
He's not temperamental. He's pissy. And scantily clad.
Why didn't Victor Webster get the role? No offense, but I'd rather see him shirtless and wet for an hour and a half.
Or however long it took.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

- Wizard of Oz (childhood yearly viewings)

- Nightmare on Elm Street (I was hugely into this at about 14)
Movie I saw the most times in the theater
- Hedwig and the Angry Inch (8 times in the theater - still an absolute fave)

Compassionately intolerant
Oh, right. Add the BBC/A&E Pride and Prejudice to my list.
Ditto! Several times a year.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Who knew the mild-mannered cuckoo clock could evolve into such a gruesome object? Fans of the Stanley Kubrick film The Shining will adore this takeoff on the innocent pop-out clock, where every hour Jack Nicholson's crazed face pops through the door, yelling "Here's Johnny!" as Shelley Duvall screams in terror.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can't find the press release online anywhere, but David Hewlett's movie A Dog's Breakfast will be coming out on DVD in September. Did it ever get a theatrical release in Canada?

It never came to a theatre near me, Jessica. I'm guessing from the "request a screening" form on their website that they don't have a distributor.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I missed the discussion of the trailers on Spidey 3 but I wanted to put in my $.02 regarding Across the Universe (the trippy Beatles one.) It's directed by Julie Taymor which is enough to make me want to see it but now I'm afraid of what the final cut might turn out to be. Read the article about the editing controversy here:
