We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

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.

Rose McGowan.

Which I think would be wrong, but I can see seeing it.

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

Claire Danes.

Niiiice. She actually wrote the introduction, both gracefully literate and quite fangirlish, to the TPB of either "The High Cost of Living" or one of the other Death standalones. Warm, luminous, already loves the source material. Go team Claire!

Punishingly Intricate

Go team Claire!

Isn't she too old? Death is supposed to be a teenager.

(Also, haven't there been rumours of a movie since the comics originally came out? And they've all come to naught?)

Dude.

Director Christopher Nolan plans to shoot parts of the next Batman movie, The Dark Knight, in the IMAX format, USA Today reported today (Tuesday). It would mark the first time a major studio has used the cumbersome process in a feature. Four action sequences, including the introduction of the Joker, played by Heath Ledger, will employ the giant-screen process. They will fill the entire IMAX screen, producing the reality-like images that the process is famous for. (Some conventional films have been converted to the IMAX format, but the result is technically inferior to films that are originally shot with the IMAX system.) Nolan told USA Today: "Batman has some of the most extraordinary characters in pop culture. We wanted the Joker to have the grandest entrance possible. I figured if you could take an IMAX camera to Mount Everest or outer space, you could use it in a feature movie."

Unrelatedly:

Death is supposed to be a teenager.

Really? I always thought of her as a slight, old/young-looking, 20 something.

Ugh. Now I have a nightmare of it being Scarlett Jowhatever.
