Harvey just made me really upset. I can't watch it.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Hey, Vonnie, I think the Kubrick guy you're talking about was that asshat Merrwit. Haven't heard from him in years.
Possible. But I reckon there is probably more than one Kubrick-nut with manners like a wild dog running around the 'net.

Matthew MacFadyen and Keeley Hawes (Tom and Zoe from Spooks) are married with a couple of kids, if I recall. Man, their children must be pretty.
Is Alan Tudyk playing an American or a Brit?
Peter Dinklage! I'm reading the George R.R Martin's Song of Ice and Fire books right now and keep thinking they *have to* adapt the books to screen before Dinklage becomes too old to play Tyrion.

Alan has an Engish accent. Peter is kinda the star. You have to see it.

HBO has optioned the books for a possible series.
I'm torn. I don't want them to do it if they won't finish. But I still want them to do it.

Oh no, Fellowship would have been worse. At least Two Towers had Gollum running around; he's the only character I like at all. And the battle scenes were cool, at least.
My mom and brother are big on Tolkien. I mean, I dimly remember seeing Bakshi movie in the theater. I read The Hobbit and Fellowship, and that was enough. My antipathy is not based on a lack of knowledge.

The Two Towers was my favorite of the three.

If I hadn't been with friends as a social event, I might have walked out halfway through TTT. There were like three moments in the whole movie that I enjoyed, and each was solely due to Ian McKellen. (Though I must admit the scenery in Rohan was very pretty.)
By contrast I loved Fellowship and saw it three times in the theaters and about 50 on cable. Return of the King was enjoyable, but not so much that I ever wanted to sit through it again.

I just watched The General. That was really good! It's like the prototypical action comedy. Lots of chuckles. One thing that struck me was how real everything looked. I think that's because basically everything was real, right? They were shooting on actual trains and firing actual cannons and destroying actual bridges?
It was a great silent film, but it's not like it has a huge point or anything. It's probably got a permanent spot on Lists due to its reputation of Not Sucking.
Two things: that's what Buster Keaton looks like? I always thought he was more rotund. Maybe I'm confusing him with Jackie Gleason. Also, which one is it where the house falls on him, with the window space keeping him safe?

Oh dear. I don't even know where to start.
Yes, that's what Buster Keaton looks like. And the falling wall shot is from Steamboat Bill, Jr.
