Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned  

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 thought Ipcress was pretty big over here, but I don't know if that's just an impression I got from how often it was shown on TV when I was growing up.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Rewatched 7 Brides for 7 Brothers over the weekend. It kinda bugged me a bit. At the end, wouldn't the dad's see that it was ONE baby, not 6 and NOT make the girls marry the boys? Or did the girls keep up the charade that they had in fact, had THE SEX so the dads would let them marry the boys or am I really reading too much into a musical that's about kidnapping and Stockholm Syndrome?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The best part about Seven Brides is the barn-raising dance. The rest of it--eh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well, the dads didn't know which of the girls had had Teh Sex, just that one did, so they all had to get married just in case.

If I only had a brain...

Right. The girls weren't fessing up as to whose baby it was. Think of Lace before its time.

Course, them bein' frontier days, all Daddy really needed to do was wait an hour and see who leaked.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Think of Lace before its time.

Wow. I don't even remember this from my Cub Scout days. Though it earwormed me with the forest ranger song from Little Mary Sunshine.

I only saw the trailer for Cars, which looks... unimpressive.

That was about my reaction.

Huh. I was really annoyed at being delayed from the movie I came to see. But I'm a curmudgeon.

Steph is me. I spent the entire short going "Come on, when are we going to get to the movie?"

Hey. New board.

I only saw the trailer for Cars, which looks... unimpressive.

Oh, I've been meaning to say:

The original teaser for The Incredibles was funny, but not really in any way related to the final movie. I wasn't all that impressed by it. Basically, that teaser said "This movie is about a semi-retired superhero, and it's by Pixar."

To me, this Cars teaser was exactly the same thing. It said "This movie is about anthropormorphic cars, and it's by Pixar. And dadgum is a funny word."

So I put little stock in it. Teasers are weird that way.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I see. Except the topic material doesn't interest me much either, I must admit. Car racing is of the yawn for me.

Which doesn't mean it won't be good. But I'll have to have people convince me to see it.

Thank you. I really disliked the teaser (look at the fat dude trying to put on his belt!). I'm glad hear that the movie is not that.
