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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

For some reason, Brandon Lee and Heath Ledger are in similar not-yet-over categories for me.

I'd add River Phoenix to that list, but yeah.

Because books.

I can watch Brokeback and A Knight's Tale well enough now, but watching Heath Ledger as the Joker really, really hurts, still.

And who gave me an Osmonds earmworm?! "And they call it puppy loooooooove ..."

Ann, that's a ferret.

For the Osmonds, "Crazy Horses" musically. Lyrically, "Love Me for a Reason" or "The Proud One."

I find Donny's solo "Sweet and Innocent" musically irresistible until I start thinking about how young would be too young for Donny Osmond in 1971ish.

Guess who is doing the voice of Boo-Boo in the upcoming Yogi Bear movie?

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

Lee Pace?

New Inception theory to throw into the mix of possibilities: The entire movie is actually Mal countering Cobb's attempt to get her to wake up out of Limbo, tricking him into believing that they did wake up and she committed suicide because of it. In the end, Mal wins, and they stay in Limbo.

That possibility occurred to me while discussing it with a friend. I did not get out to see it again yesterday, but maybe today. I really need to see this movie again, to see which theories stand up.

Because books.

Sean, for a little while toward the end, I wondered if Mal was right, and Cobb was the one who was deluded, and the whole thing was her dream, and she was the one trying to plant a new idea in his mind.

I love that the possibilities are almost endless, and the structure lets you play with so many different theories. What I want now, though, is another movie like this, that gets everyone you know talking.

The movie incepts everybody who watches it.

I have a feeling that all the main theories will hold up, because there will be things that hint that any given theory is true, and nothing that flatly contradicts any one theory.
