What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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.

I don't understand not loving Hot Fuzz - I love it THAT MUCH.

Oh dog so much this!!! And while I had problems with how they introduced his Scotty in Trek, it wasn't the performance that bothered me. Put that one on JJ who deserves it for some of his other bone-headed resets going on in the movie. I'm glad Pegg didn't do a total Doohan revamp.

For some reason, having Bones be so spot on was more appropriate (bless Karl Urban).

Maybe I'll watch Hot Fuzz right now. Day improver!

Also, i love PAUL. But I somehow I'd missed Seth Rogen in every other thing he's ever done, so having his voice in there didn't throw me out of the movie in any way. It felt somewhat of a piece with SPACED, though a bit cruder.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

What the fuck is that stance about?

I think it's "I've hit my mark and I'm firing, but I can't see over the top of this car."

So Ultimate Drew is rewriting World War Z. I think this is the third re-write after they started shooting.

So.

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

I just read a summary of a report on vulture.com that said that Brad Pitt and the director were not on speaking terms.

And.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

how can this be possible and the project continue?

Aha. The vulture article says that Ultimate Drew is one of a few writers approached: [link] -- Lindelhof is working on it too. Yay! That always works out.

Lindelhof? Oh, dear.

That always works out.

Indeed.

Seriously, how hard is it to make a zombie movie? George Romero made one in his back yard.
