Lionsgate distributed Saw, so it makes sense that they’d buy the Ryan Reynolds one-man torture porno, Buried. Nikki Finke TOLDJA that they paid between three and four million dollars for the rights, so expect a theatrical release some time in the next year, or as soon as the Lionsgate execs finish putting cigar butts out on each others’ wieners.
I know it probably seems like I’m just playing the contrarian here since virtually everyone loved this film, but I swear to you, I was at the same screening as everyone else (see the crappy pictures I took below), and after it was over, I walked up to the other movie writers and was all, “Wow, what a horrible piece of sh*t, right guys?” And they all just looked at me like I was crazy. They were all standing in a circle cupping their hands over each other’s butts and farting, and then bringing their hands up to their noses and inhaling deeply. Then they’d say things like, “My favorite thing about Sundance is the clean mountain air. It’s really amazing, isn’t it?”
To be honest with you guys, it was kind of weird.
[I'd be remiss if I didn't note that at least Hitfix agreed with me]

Vince, they would have agreed with you if you’d just beaten up the guy from Pajiba
I really like how his nice collar pops out through his nice sweater. And there’s just a little bit of shirt material hanging out at the bottom of the nice sweater. He’s a fine man, I tell you. And stubble.
I thought about throwing one of them off the bus just to show the others I meant business like we did with the gooks back in Nam, but I took a vow of non-violence ever since I accidentally blew up that hut full of kids.
To be honest, he may challenge Baby Goose for adorableness.
People are breathing each others ass gas now? This recycling shit is officially out of hand.
Yeah, yeah. You’re writing the posts now, we get it. Go back to banging the indie-star waitresses. Live a little, Luke.
I can’t tell from the banner pic if he’s wearing a shirt or not.
This is pivotal information, Vance. Will I
download this illegallyrent this on half-price daygo see this? You tell me.The clean mountain air can make you dizzy. As anyone who tries to sell this will eventually come to understand.
Not shirtless, sorry. That’s how you know it’s an important art film.
I’m too important to read the whole post so I’m just going to take away that Ryan Reynolds wants to bury his head in my box and that’s torture for everyone else.
I’m also going to take away this lamp and kitten calendar because I know you’re out of town and I’m close enough to steal stuff.
Not shirtless? ಠ_ಠ
Not shirtless = then what was the point? If I wanted to watch some guy struggling to free himself for an hour and a half, I’d just go down to my cellar.
I mean Fek’s cellar.
This movie demonstrates Reynolds’ range. His ability to swing from “Hot Guy Who Can’t Act” to “Unconvincing But Buff Dude” in the blink of an eye is uncanny.
This film is how I like my boner. Buried.
And don’t worry everyone, I took my shirt just to make you guys happy.
I propose today be shirt-free for all the Drunkards.
Okay, I’m shirtless, but why is Fek still wearing a sweater?
So which Alice in Chains song did they play behind the credits, “Down in a Hole” or “Man in the Box”? I have dinner at Arby’s riding on your answer.
I agree with Al, now, turn on your net cam and meet me on Skype.
Speaking of shirtless, new up. But it’s not as sexy as you might hope.
How’s this going to be marketed to wide audience? Its set in Iraq and has liberal morality–basically a death sentence on gross to films like Hurt Locker, In the Valley of Ellah, Lions and Lamps, Rendition, etc. They couldn’t crack it with great action, serious drama, or big stars. Adding this to the fact its a one-room play, when audiences want to see giant 3d smurfcats in virtual jungle.
The SAW fanbase want to see body counts. By the premise of the film, I’d say 0 person is killed.
