Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.
Oh, this is cool - AICN is confirming that Nick Frost and Simon Pegg will be playing Thomson and Thompson in the Tintin movie.

HMOG - that's made of win. I think casting the two guys who played the Andys in Hot Fuzz would go one better, but they don't have the name recognition that Frost and Pegg will bring.
eta ...and Andy Serkis as Capt. Haddock potentially? Liking that too, especially after seeing him play Martin Hannet in 24-Hour Party People.

I have no idea who those two are, but I don't see Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock at all.
However, I'm glad that project is on again. Is it really going to be out in 2010? I still want to know which volumes they are adapting. Love this quote:
You know the economy is shitty when studios are afraid to finance a Spielberg/Jackson picture.

They have the best screen duo chemistry in the universe. This is only a slight case of hyperbole.
I'll bring Hot Fuzz with me when I come to SF.

True words. They're up there with Clooney/Pitt (Soderbergh edition).
They look vaguely familiar, but I haven't seen anything they've been in. But I trust the hivemind.
ETA: Dupond and Dupont are way more important to me than Haddock.

I believe TiVo has done your job for you.
megan, rent the Spaced dvds! You'll get to see Simon Pegg at his best, and Nick Frost is wonderful in his first acting gig (he was Pegg's roomie and a waiter, and Pegg had to convince the director that Frost would be perfect in the role, which he was).
Also, Spaced just happens to be the best sitcom of the past ten years, possibly twenty.
