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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Gris, should all that be spoiler-fonted?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

it has all of them PLUS Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren AND Mickey Rourke. i had originally heard that all the 80s action stars would be in it, which would include Segall and Jean-Claude, but i don't see them on the imdb page.

oh and Charisma Carpenter is in it. i'll have to see it. no matter how bad it is. i'm sure i won't see it in theatres though.

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

we did see one for a new action flick that supposedly stars Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and... Arnold Schwarzenegger? WTF?

And Charisma Carpenter.

Which, really, is what boggles the mind.

Still, Statham and Jet Li figured large in the trailer, so I'm there. Despite hating the people you cited.

I'll be in the theatre for it, because I'm like that.

And I hate Mickey Rourke.

But Randy Couture!

Steven Seagal reputedly had a falling out with the producer. Jean Claude turned it down because it wasn't character-oriented enough.

Okay.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Jean Claude turned it down because it wasn't character-oriented enough.

That's on the list of the funniest sentences I've ever read.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Have you ever had a dream with a dwarf in it? Do you know anyone who's had a dream with a dwarf in it? No! I don't even have dreams with dwarves in them. The only place I've seen dwarves in dreams is in stupid movies like this! "Oh make it weird, put a dwarf in it!". Everyone will go "Woah, this must be a fuckin' dream, there's a fuckin' dwarf in it!". Well I'm sick of it! You can take this dream sequence and stick it up your ass!

For what it is worth, I often have dreams with feral babies infesting a house, crawling on the ceiling and rustling inside the walls. They never attack people and strip all the flesh from their bones, leaving nothing but a skeleton behind, but it is always taken for granted that this a real danger. That strikes me as weirder than dwarfs. But I'll admit that, unlike ita, I've never dreamed about dwarfs.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Arnold Schwarzenegger? WTF? Shouldn't he be busy fixing California's budget or something?

Have you seen his attempts at fixing the budget? I'd rather he stick to acting.

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

Burrell FTW.
