Top Ten Greatest Chicago Movies. Nice list, but I would have put The Fugitive higher than #9.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hairspray is gayer than a leather daddy singing “I Will Survive” at Karaoke night at The Manhole.
I don't know that it's gayer than that, but it's definitely Queer, and Travolta should shut his piehole.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Apparently, John Travolta thinks that Hairspray is not a gay film. Has he seen it?!?
Methinks it would take a LOT of experience with denial to be able to make that statement about Hairspray. Wonder what he practiced on? blinks innocently...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Huh. I never knew that the first two Die Hard movies were based on books. The things you learn from Wikipedia. The third was partially based on another screenplay, and the fourth, as I noticed with amusement during the credits, was based on an article.

Hey. New board.
One of the metacritic User Reviews for transformers that I found especially poignant:
This movie was AWSOME, from the visual effects to the hot chicks.
I honestly can't decide if this is intended to be ironic or not.

That sounds like my kind of movie.
And I'm not being ironic! Mostly. I do enjoy both visual effects and hot chicks.

Another movie based on a magazine article? Pushing Tin. Which, while it did have some good things going for it, wanted to be three different movies, and never really decides which one it wants to be, and thus plays like three parts of three different, semi-unrelated movies.

It's like Speed ! Which is an elevator movie, a bus movie, and a subway movie, all in one!

HA!
Well, Pushing Tin seemed even less well connected than Speed. At least the three parts of Speed were all action movie.
The three parts of Pushing Tin seem really disjointed. Like, buddy comedy, romantic entanglement movie, and messed up guy gets his head cleared movie.

Kind of like the two halves of Life Is Beautiful ?
