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.
Yeah, that's the one that started the whole "recut trailers" thing, right? It's still a classic.
The Shining as wacky heartwarming comedy is brilliant: [link]
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!)
In the category of WAIT, WHAT? Guillermo del Toro is directing a reboot of Haunted Mansion for Disney. (Just announced at SDCC.)
Maybe this one won't suck!
A reboot of the movie that was just made, with Eddie Murphy? Reboots are coming faster and faster these days. Must be Windows-based.
