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.

move out and draw fire
I think my lack of enjoyment for 2 was, in addition to rolling my eyes at over-the-top tributes to King Kong, the absence of Geoffrey Rush.
This is exactly what my DH said. Without, you know, having seen PotC3.
Zombie sheep, going "Baaaaah-rains!"
Now, how can I work this into a joke for my MidEast specialist friends?

3. It had a title that doesn't exactly alert people that it's a sequel.
Isn't that sort of following in the footsteps of the original? I expected it to be a romantic dramedy sequel starring Sandra Bullock until I read the plot details.

Heh, I kept having that problem. Plus I'd forget which movie was which.
Me: "I watched 28 Days."
Johanna: "Really?
Why?"
Me: "What do you -- oh, sorry. 28 Days Later."

Somewhere, in an alternate universe, there's a movie where Sandra Bullock fights off zombies attacking a rehab clinic.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
I think I would go see that movie.
Is Wash still in it? Will he be a gay zombie?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Parsing movie plots for success.
Interesting stuff. Especially anything that may reveal industry-accepted biases in evaluating performance.
