Is there a SciFi movie about a mad scientist who harvests passenger pigeon DNA and regrows them á la Jurassic Park, and then they breed rapidly á la Gremlins and begin attacking people á la The Birds ? If not, why?
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

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.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The bird's only natural predators were hawks and eagles.
That must've been like a buffet line for the raptors.

If not, why?
Have you seen Night of the Lepus?
Because horror films about not-horrible animals tend to not ping the primal fear centers in the brain.

Art Crawl!!!
P-C, you should totally propose that to SciFi. Perhaps you could include the Giant Auk and the Sea Mink. Ooh and the Carolina Parakeet!

Well, maybe something like the Attack of the Were-Rabbit. . .

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Some of these I totally see--Chow Yun Fat as Morpheus in The Matrix, and others make the movie way too different.
I think the turning down that surprised me the most was Kate Hudson picking The Four Feathers over Spiderman.
I just .... man, I didn't even like Spiderman. I still would have taken the role.

Daniel Day Lewis would've made a good Aragorn.
Not that I'm unhappy with Viggo, but DDL would've been good.

Generally, Hec, the answer to "Have you seen [movie]?" coming from you is no. Heh.

I wonder why Christina Ricci didn't get the role of Lolita. She seems perfect. Perhaps too perfect? Dunno. Never saw it.

You may consider it rhetorical then.
