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 do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just rewatched Infernal Affairs. But I don't remember The Departed too well. How much did it divert from what came before it?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I think it was mostly the ending, and they combined two female characters into one.

IA is the superior movie. There was no snorting cocaine, "devil" scene in IA.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't remember that scene in The Departed, which I loved. IA is coming up soon in my Netflix queue.

Huh. I just heard that originally, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World ended with Scott choosing Knives, having realized that a relationship he built, rather than dreamed, was what he needed. Which makes much more sense given the fight scene. But then they changed it to match the last book.
Also, dammit, the movie bombed. $10.5 million. Slot 5. Under The Expendables, Eat Pray Love, The Other Guys, and Inception. At least it did a little better than The Losers ?

Because books.

Hey!
I wanted that to do so much better. I think it deserved to, too.

I agree with you!
