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

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

Do I know what rhetorical means!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Night of the Lepus is made of awesome, except for the part where it's made of total spectacular badness (which is in itself made of awesome). Here's the original trailer, which will probably somehow fail to frighten you to death.

Wow. That was awesomely bad. It reminded me of the Don't trailer, in that it never really tells you what the fuck it's about.

Well...it could be bunnies.

Well, see, if it did, you would die laughing and thus never actually cough up the money to buy a ticket.
The actual movie is just... just... Lots of shots of people screaming, running, flailing, bleeding, intercut with shots of actual bunny rabbits lolloping around miniature sets, blinking and stamping their feet and behaving in a generally rabbity fashion. Terrifying to Anya, but probably not to a single other soul on the face of the planet.
There's another mutant-fuzzy-animal horror movie, whose name I'm too lazy to Google but it might be something like Hiss!, that's about a band of very angry feral cats and that suffers from the same inability to make its monsters credibly terrifying. The cats mostly loll about sleeping, as cats mostly do, and occasionally puff themselves up and hiss ineffectually, as cats occasionally do, and there's one shot of a cat attacking one of the hapless heroes in which I swear you can see the shadow of the animal handler throwing the cat through the air because the damn thing was too lazy to pounce on command.
And now I'm talking myself into big love for a mutant killer passenger pigeon movie. Though possibly mutant killer dodos would be even better.
