I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Here, for instance, I see them as very similar from chin, up through mouth to nose. And their heights and builds aren't dissimilar.

Also, it becomes glaringly apparent (to me) when they're both moving/speaking.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

While searching for those headshots, I ran across the French_Canadian poster for These Girls, featuring shirtless DB.

Why do I imagine that preliminary audition involving the casting director saying, "Now, this script has some scenes that may be a bit more risqué than you're used to..." followed by David exclaiming, "do I get to be naked the whole time?!?"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My, but he's pretty all shirtless and holding a baby. If someone could photoshop those pictures together with some of the pictures of Vin Diesel shirtless with a baby in his otherwise worthless Disney thingumabob, I might perish of joy.

I don't know if it'd be possible for me to watch a movie with DB and Caroline Dhavernas together and successfully detach them from their Whedon and Minearverse personae. Either one separately, yes, but I'm not so sure about together.

Speaking of Vin, what's up with the hair?

ETA, no wonder he shaves his head - with hair he kinda looks like Jeremy Piven's bulkier brother.

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

I wonder if that was his hair.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Huh. That's kind of wrong.

But hey, isn't that Peter Dinklage sitting next to him? Because I could go for a movie with Vin Diesel and Peter Dinklage.

Oh, it totally wouldn't surprise me that he's just wearing a piece for the role, but it took me aback when I saw a poster for it in the Boston Phoenix today. I was all "Vin Diesel's the star? Is that him?!???!??"

He's 'acting' this time.

I hope it goes well. I have no reason to doubt he can't act, but he has such a dumb-lug rep based on what seems to be not much more than the size of his biceps, that I can't help but root for him.

If the movie is any good, it should be interesting given the premise. Sidney Lumet's been more on the miss than on the hit side lately, but he's done good work over the years. And, yeah, Peter Dinklage makes thing interesting too.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

He kind of acted in "Boiler Room". I really liked him in that.
