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

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.

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Yes but when Buffistas do it we're being ironic.

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.

One thing that I think is nice about Waitress is that when Adrienne Shelley's daughter is older, her dad will be able to show her the movie as a love letter from Mom. Most people just get family albums and a few keepsakes to remember a deceased parent by.
I saw Evening this afternoon, and am apparently a sucker for Gatsby-esque romantic tragedies set in the elite coastal vacation towns of bygone eras. Though upon reflection over Hugh Dancy's role afterwards I did have to wonder if the filmmakers were aware the Hays Code is no longer in effect. After all, Buddy survived a perfectly legitimate potential death due to his own foolhardy drunken behavior, only to be struck down as if from on high by a car that appeared out of nowhere on a secluded road through the woods late at night, whose presence was not announced by sound or headlights beforehand and which disappeared without stopping even though the impact with him was shown to shatter the windshield. Why not just have him struck down by lightning or turned into a pillar of salt ?
