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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Among other things, the Mac in the "I'm a Mac/and I'm a PC" ads.

I so wanted him to be the TDS interview instead of Bruce Willis, so they could do a bit with him and John Hodgman.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Justin Long in Dodgeball is HI-LARIOUS. I have only to think of him and a wrench and I will laugh like a loon.

I think I'm going to enjoy LFoDH.

Oh, god, me too. It's my secret shame. Well, it would be secret if FX ever stopped playing the movie.

Man, that movie shouldn't be as funny as it is.

Art Crawl!!!

Richard Roundtree has joined the cast of Speed Racer.

You guys know that Scott Porter ("Street" from FNL) is playing the young Racer X, right?

I'm so glad it is, though. These days, even the pinging sound of a rubber ball can elicit peals of laughter from me.

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

Live Free or Die Hard was awesome! It was very much a Die Hard movie with lots of great explosions, as Gris mentioned, but more than that, it's an action movie that gets you viscerally involved, where you're leaning back in your seat and ducking to avoid debris and all that shit. It's a lot of fun. And Justin Long is good, too. I would have to rewatch the other movies if I wanted to bother with comparing it to the others, but I loved it.

My only complaint, really, is that, despite the fact that I like Timothy Olyphant in Go, he doesn't really pull off the villain role in this one. He's no Alan Rickman or Jeremy Irons or whoever the hell was the villain in the second one...though I guess he must be better than him, if I can't even remember him. There's not much to his performance beyond a one-note intensity.
