Happy Happy Watchmen casting news!
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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.

Random movie-related notes:
1) I didn't know a movie had been made of the book "Flatland." Come to find out, THREE Flatland movies exist.
2) I'm reading NightWatch, and while the movie got the feel right, I'm already crabby at a lot of the changes and think the book is much better.
3) There's a place near me advertising Wu-Shu Tai Chi, which makes me laugh and laugh (given that I use "wu-shu" mostly as gamer slang).

What does "wu-shu" mean in gamer slang?

It means a character build with the ability to do martial arts stuff in a fantasy way, like flying or knocking down millions of arrows with your bare hands. Think Crouching Tiger or Hero.
Not really the focused exercise of Tai Chi.

Well, crud. I'm off to cancel my Tai Chi lessons now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Pshaw. You have to pay your dues, man. You don't start by being able to dance on top of bamboo. Takes lots of gliding over grass to get there.

They promised me I could dance on sword blades by week 3.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, you can do that right NOW, dude. Just have plenty of Bactine handy.
