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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

No, it was definitely a chess piece. And not a rook.

Thus ends my contribution.

Dana, ha! All I knew is that it wasn't the knight, queen, king, or pawn.

Why were all the totems representative of games?

Why should Jilli not click that link? Eight-legged things? Or clowns? Or just general crankiness?

Pete, on a scale of Matrix to Sin City, with Fight Club somewhere in the middle, how would Bronson rate? Having seen a clip of Hardy talking about Bronson, I am now intrigued, but not so good with gore.

Man, I'm trying to remember now. It's all a blur. I think it's not so much gore as it is subject matter. It can be harrowing on a number of occasions. The stuff in a mental asylum can be particularly unpleasant, nicely contrasted with Hardy's in-character look to camera that reads "Really? I have to put up with this shit?"

However, there is a (presumed) plus for those of you with the Tom Hardy crush; there are plenty of moments of full frontal nudity, some of it in slow motion.

ION, the Inception music secret was brilliant.

Oh, *very* cool!

Y'know, I can't even remember: was Arachnophobia a well-done horror movie? It terrified *ME*, but I have no idea if the movie was scary (or even interestingly-plotted) for people who aren't freaked out by spiders.

(Along the sames lines, there are times that I wonder if I should watch Poltergeist and see if it holds up, but then I remember the being so terrified that I didn't sleep for a few days, and decide that I'm not *that* curious.)

And for that I thank you, Pete.

I won't watch it. If I see a spider in the house, I'm not happy, but I can deal. Scenes with many insects of any kind? Nightmare city.

(I didn't *think* Pete, I'm pretty sure.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

When I watched it on the big screen, Arachnophobia was the scariest movie I ever saw. I have not been back for a re-watch.
