No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Blue Valentine looks interesting, and the strategy of including a photo that verifies Jack Gyllenhaal will be spending some of his movie shirtless is an effective one on me. But Red is the only one of that list I feel anticipation for.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So I saw Inception today, finally, so late it was already gone from one of my theaters. I liked it a lot and am very thinky about it and immediately want to rewatch. I went into it spoiled, because I didn`t have any plans to see movies anytime soon. But Buffista talky made me want to see it so I did. I am still forming my opinion on it. I think the way it`s shaking out is that the SO thinks it`s real at the start and finish and I think it`s all a dream. But I`m not sure. I loved that I was spoiled about the score, because I loved loved what they did with it. I adore deliberate stuff like that.

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

Wow. I've only seen three of those movies. I evidently don't get out enough.

I'd actually like to see Barbarella just for fun.

Attack of the Puppet People and Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity are my favorite titles.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I've only seen Barbarella and Plan 9, but I'm completely in love with the publicity still for Attack of the Puppet People. It's adorable. I'm sure I'd hate the actual movie, but I still want to live in the world of just that one photo.

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

JZ, you haven't seen Tremors?? It's so great!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

My favorite title ever (and I've never seen the movie) is

"The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies" (I've actually seen many variations on t he title such as "Strange creatures who stopped living and became weird mixed-up Zombies") Another title that may deserve a mention is "Nudist Colony of the Dead".

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Tremors is fabulous. Reba!

Barbarella was less boggling the first time I saw it at the drive-in than it's been since. That may say something about my states of mind then and now. Barbarella and The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming are responsible for my being a fan of John Phillip Law.

...those may be his entire oevre, actually.
