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.

Two tracks from Inception for free download, scroll down: [link]

Sincerely, I have never downloaded a piece of music onto my computer in my life. I clicked "download" on the above, and then my computer told me it was a zip file and couldn't save it, or play it, or deal with it, something like that. Is there something I'm supposed to do besides click "download"? If yes, what?

Just tried it again. It says, "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file." Now what?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You need to unzip the zip file. (Unless someone just changed the extension to .zip)

Quick question - will I like Scott Pilgrim vs. the World if I'm not into video games and not really a comic book geek?

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

If you didn't play video games in the 1980s you will miss a lot of the jokes but I think you'll still be able to relate.

My parents didn't like it.

Thanks. I played some arcade games back then....

Off I go (on my newly repaired bike!)

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

You guys shouldbprobably indicate which movie you're whitefonting discussion about, so peoplw can tell Scott from Cobb ahead of highlighting.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Good call. I usually am the one thinking all conversation in the bucket threads should be tagged, so I should be doing it here.

"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

I saw Piranha 3D this afternoon (don't judge me, I'd intended to go swimming but the community center pool was closed). The most amazing thing about this movie is that Jack Valenti didn't crawl out of his grave to personally slap an NC-17 rating on it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I saw Piranha 3D this afternoon (don't judge me, I'd intended to go swimming but the community center pool was closed).

I won't judge you, but this is the most hilarious justification ever. And so appropriate. Was it closed due to piranha's by any chance?
