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.

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

Ooh. Sounds fun!

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

Bug was reviewed on NPR the other day with a rave review.

Ellen interviewed Harry Connick either late last week or earlier this week and she said that Bug was very good but creepy. Actually I think she said it about 4 times. So I'd call that a rave from her too!

move out and draw fire

Huh, I just saw a preview for it and thought it looked like your standard gross-out horror flick. Apparently marketing fell down on the job.

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

Robin, I have to freak out a cheery 17 year old. But I want to like the movie too. Is Bug it?

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

It's very VERY dark. In a real disquieting but fascinating way. Might be a bit much for a 17-year-old--but I prolly woulda liked it at that age.

I really want to see it. It looks creepy.

If it's a bit much, it might be just right.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Just saw World's End. I agree with all the critisicms and embrace them. It is terribly plotty in a way that I just adored. The set designers do feel the need to fill every frame with minute details and I ate them all up. Yum!

Art Crawl!!!

I hear that there is a post-credit epilogue -- was it fun?
