Maybe this one won't suck!
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

A reboot of the movie that was just made, with Eddie Murphy? Reboots are coming faster and faster these days. Must be Windows-based.

The Eddie Murphy movie was in 2003, and was AWFUL. I am all for a reboot. Especially since the BIG quote from del Toro is "Haunted Mansion will be live-action, 3D, and "the most haunted mansion on Earth." Will not be a comedy."
(Thank you, Twitter, for breaking news.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Though IIRC a lot of the set and prop design was gorgeous. I don't suppose there's a design book available like the one on Alice in Wonderland, to spare design whores the misery of having to endure all the bad acting and writing just to get to the pretty stuff?

Yes it was. Whooo.

The Haunted Mansion: From The Magic Kingdom To The Movies. So not a complete design book, but it does have design sketches and photos from the movie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's official: Joss Whedon is directing the Avengers movie!
eta: Joss sez:
I'm still writing the outline. I am at the stage where I am reworking and reworking. What I love about this is that there is no way that these people should be in the same room together, let alone the same team. And that, to me, is the definition of family.

I find it noteworthy that the official Disney press release didn't even acknowledge the existence of the Eddie Murphy film.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Karl Urban to play Judge Dredd (it's buried down there below Trek II talk).

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I just got back from seeing Inception and I just read all the white-font. I found it a very involving movie. I didn't check my watch once. And I surprised myself by being a little teary at the end.
I haven't made up my mind yet whether I believe it was all a dream or whose dream it might have been. Or whether the last part was Cobb's dream, because I'm not sure it wasn't.
