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.

How would that be different from following him out? Either way, what we know is incomplete.

And Cobb has an option we don't: he can come back to the table later. Except he can't, because his movie ended.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I imagine that Cobb comes back to find the top fallen over. Except there's a cat on the table so he can't know whether it fell over on its own or not.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This YouTube video won't play for me, but supposedly it's cool:

Princess Bride Recut Trailer

It's recut as a horror trailer.

Yeah, that's the one that started the whole "recut trailers" thing, right? It's still a classic.

Coilhouse alerts us to important news:

We don’t often run sale notices on Coilhouse, least of all for the big franchises, but I’ll feel supremely guilty if I don’t share this bit of news with our readers: right now through August 1st, go to any Barnes & Noble (or shop online) and save 50% on every single Criterion film they have in stock. DVDs and Blu-rays. Grey Gardens, Throne of Blood, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Branded to Kill. A massive 25-disc Kurosawa boxed set for 200 bucks. Fellini, Bergman, Cassavetes, Gilliam, Herzog, Hitchcock, Welles, Brakhage, Tarkovsky, Wenders, Tati, and that’s just the very tiniest sampling of names and titles. Everything Criterion still has in print is selling for half off. Holy shitballs

I looked through the site and it really is an incredible sale. If I was still teaching, I would have been all over it, but I can't really justify the purchase anymore.

The Democratic Governors Association has a hilarious get-ramped-up-for-November video that they're debuting at Netroots this weekend. It includes lots of inspirational speeches from movies, from Animal House to LotR. Very funny!

If I never hear that Arcade Fire song again, it'll be too soon!

(it is funny, though!)
