Big stars do seem to have a habit of "I want to do X! How can we make that happen!"
Inara: Who's winning? Simon: I can't tell. They don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
It would ONLY work for something like MI films, honestly, since it's all big set pieces with only loose connective tissue forming the plot. They apparently didn't even have a proper script when they started shooting and there were all manners of improvisation every day. My goodness. I would have pulled out all my hair in stress.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I once heard that on the set of a big adventure film the stuntmen were wearing t-shirts that said something along the lines of "never mind the plot, let's blow something up".

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Man, I'd go see Mission Impossible: Middle Earth.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I seriously doubt this will happen, but I would be all over this: Edgar Wright directing Bond 25 is "a real possibility".
But it wouldn't be nearly as awesome as this: [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I would absolutely pay money to see that. Especially if they played it totally straight.

I saw The Spy Who Dumped Me yesterday. It was fun. Not profound, but then it wasn't trying to be. There were explosions, the lead women kicked butt, the bit with the thumb was great, and I'll watch Kate McKinnon in anything but an Oliver Stone flick. I'd love to see a sequel, but as it's been out nearly a month without earning back production costs, that seems unlikely.

Saw BlacKkKlansman yesterday. It's very good. And yet another film where I didn't hate Adam Driver.
Personally, I don't think the coda was necessary (since I felt the link was made explicit throughout), but I suppose some people need to be hit over the head.
