Wow, does that fall into the realm of really REALLY bad ideas.
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

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.

I am so sad that they are changing the story. I am beginning to develop a serious allergy to the phrase "to make it more accessible to today's audience."
Man. All my favorite stories are being filmed in places I used to live.

I am beginning to develop a serious allergy to the phrase "to make it more accessible to today's audience."
I think that's because it seems to actually be code for: "Today's audiences are congenitally retarded."
On a sort of similar subject -- I actually got a little excited about Live Free or Die Hard when I saw the trailer for it last night on the TV, except....
Well, one, the title. And two, I liked Die Hard and Die Hard With A Vengeance, but those were the two directed by John McTiernan.
Live Free or Die Hard (what an awful name)? Is directed by Len "Underworld" Wiseman

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The second one wasn't? Ah, Renny Harlin. Of Deep Blue Sea fame, woo!
Sean, the trailer looked pretty damn cool to me too. But the title is pretty dumb indeed.

I'm going to go see it anyway, for completist reasons -- I'm hooked on the continuing story of poor terrorist-beset John McClain -- but I won't expect too much from it.
Who knows, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I think we have our first suggested titles for Movies 6.

What is this story, exactly? I was trying to think of what makes the Die Hard movies different from your Typical Action Movie, what makes John McClain specifically a good hero to be running around dodging explosions rather than another Everyman.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It isn't different. It's the prototypical action movie; it came first.
