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.

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

How do you explain release dates to a 3 year old?

"I know sweetie, I want to watch it too. We have to wait until it's ready. Would you like to see surfing penguins now or have a snack?"

Now tagless for your comfort.

Good call, Laga. He's easily distracted by penguins.

ION we're getting more complaints and demands for refunds from "Bug" than I've seen in a while.

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

Interesting. Because they thought it was a standard horror movie, and it wasn't?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

What sort of complaints?

Well mostly they just say it sucked and that we should have told them it sucked. I think they're not expecting it to resemble a stage play as much as it does.

Ha ha ha ha. Like that's the theatre's fault. I didn't ask for my money back after Troy.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I didn't ask for my money back after Van Helsing though i did want to punish Hugh Jackman for making me think that if it had him in it it would at least have one redeeming quality.

Kate Beckinsale was hot. There was that.

The weird thing is that I almost warned these last people. From now on we are going to tell people, "just so you know we have had a few complaints about that film."

Some of my favorite refund requests: Anger Management: "it was dumb."

Spellbound: "it was about spelling!"

Waking Life: "that movie sucked! What did you think of it?" I didn't have the heart to tell them it was my current favorite movie.
