Buffy: You tossed that vamp like he was a... little teeny vamp. Riley: You wanna go again? C'mon. I bet this place is just teeming with aerodynamic vampires.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Feh. I'm sorry, the first 20 minutes of Return of the Jedi is more actiony than the whole of Empire. Iron bikini! Duels with giant snot monsters! Blind hand-to-hand combat! Betrayal, intruigue, Wookies!

(Whenever the trilogy was on -- USA used to run the whole thing on Christmas Day -- I used to watch all the way through up to the end of the Tattooine sequence and then turn it off.)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I do like the bike chase in the forest in Jedi.

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

I love that shit. Maybe that's why Jedi is my favorite of the three.

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

Where The Wild Things Are? For real?

That...that could be awful.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I love that shit. Maybe that's why Jedi is my favorite of the three.

I...just...weep for Polter-Cow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That...that could be awful.

That picture looks kind of awesome, though.

Spike Jonze? Huh.

The picture is great. But is the picture any good?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, who knows. But at least it's not obviously a travesty on the face of it.

My main concern is the length of the book.

How the hell are you expanding that to movie length? What would Sendak say?
