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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Jessica - so what you're saying is that even though Fischer's story is the B story, emotionally, it's so cliche that it undermines the whole movie? It didn't bother me, but I can see that.
As for the Fischer story finishing in the hotel, I thought that the will and the pinwheel gave the emotional catharsis they talked about that was needed to really plant the seed. I mean, the snow scene was theoretically Browning's subconscious, so Fischer thought he was seeing Browning's knowledge. Am I remembering all that right?
P-C, I made the connection with that Eames and that Fischer, just didn't see a clear resonance with the movie characters.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Of course, I kept thinking about Eames from L&O:CI.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
smonster, you're remembering that right, and I agree with you.

Awesome Jess!

You know, I like Roger Ebert. And I understand that actual food isn't part of his life anymore.
But in his review of Toy Story 3 he identified the thing Mr. Potato Head uses to keep his appendages together as "an uncooked taco shell."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Maybe he's just unfamiliar with Mexican food?
Doesn't seem like a tortilla would be that exotic to him, though.

Maybe he's just unfamiliar with Mexican food?
Not likely, he lives in Chicago. It's not exactly a tiny backwater town with no ethnic food.
Also, the word "tortilla" is used onscreen, by the characters, about the food object in question.
