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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
There were at least a couple but right now I can only recall at the end when they're fighting in the "rain" and Nick grabs Skinner's fist.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't know if I mentioned it in-thread at the time, but I also wondered if the name Angel was a reference to the vampire. (Only because I know Wright & Co are BtVS fans.)

One of the music guys was called Nick Angel, Jess, so I think it was after him. Cool as hell name.

It's like two vampire detectives in one!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Saw Bug. felt a little too much like a play in the last half-hour, but other than that it worked very well. Ashley Judd is fabulous. Our friend, Mike Shannon, kicks ass, just as he did in the play. A big surprise to me was Harry Connick Jr. Not only is he Mr. Buff Workoutlington, he is REALLY impressive and scary and believable.
I am sorry that they are marketing this as a horror film instead of a very black comedy'psychological thriller. It's supposed to be disquieting and also sometimes very funny. There were some people in our audience who seemed to be laughing AT moments rather than with them, if you know what I mean. I don't think they realized the writer emant them to laugh, which the rest of us did.
Still, worth a visit.

I can't help wondering if The Vulture entry was the work of a Buffista: Spider-Man 4 Villain contest.
