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.

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

One of the films is called Big Tits Zombie (Konkyu Dragon)
A raucous crowd-pleaser that is definitely not for the whole family, this 3-D spectacle pits brassy strippers against a mob of the undead, which the ladies unwittingly revive by reading aloud from an ancient tome.

I think this headline is all one needs to know:

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've seen 20. Just went to netflix to add Primer to the queueue and found Moon already on there.
Should I watch S Darko or will it just upset me?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I have heard no reason why one should watch it.

23, all but Ghost In The Shell and Inception. The Day The Earth Stood Still and Forbidden Planet are among my favorites. I'm looking forward to the next restored Metropolis, too.

I think I'm looking forward to Metropolis more than the Lord of the Rings movies!

Shouldn't it be "Lothlorien"? Or is there something else in the Silmarillion I don't know about?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I'd put Silent Running up there
I loved it when I saw it back in the early 80s (at a revival house), but dear lord I know the Joan Baez songs would make me want to plunge ice picks in my ears now.
