You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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.

I'm assuming the most ultimately cool last post would be one that says merely, "LAST!" or even "L@5T!!1!"

Nah, it's the one that gets in before the stompies close the existing thread. Content is secondary.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I was referencing the internet posters who think there is no greater glory than to post "FIRST!" as the first post.

Because books.

Hey, there's no greater glory here, either.

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

Yes but when Buffistas do it we're being ironic.

Uh...no? I was just showing Laga we do "first post" here by linking to one.

My bad. It came right after this from AmyLiz so I got confused:

oddly enough I thought it meant both.

I just put The Thin Man in the player and I got the sense, just from the look of the DVD that I've already watched it.

Finally saw Waitress. It was cute. I think it was a little too cutesy for me to love it. But it certainly was a promising little film that made me sad about Adrienne Shelly's fate.

Mostly I'm just really happy that the current films at my local theater are Waitress, Sicko, and Paris, je t'aime.

ETA: As someone who has The Thin Man memorized, I'd say watch it again. With a drink or two in hand.
