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.

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

Touch of Evil - the script varies in quality (including a MST worthy scene of crazed killers hopped up on marijuana) . But the direction and the pacing and the integration of the action and the sound track have (IMO) never been surpassed.

Heh. My favorite movie. Of course, you'd need to specify which version at this point.

Ann, that's a ferret.

"Gentleman Prefer Blondes" - a bit of fluff, but again the pacing. And not one wasted shot. and the delivery of the dialog snap snap snap. And JR doing one of all time great Monroe Impersonations.

And wonderful songs. And classic choreography in "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" and "Anyone Here for Love?" And the tiara subplot.

Fluff? Maybe. But fluff that achieved greatness.

Gentleman Prefer Blondes

Love Gentleman Prefer Blondes. Also, How to Marry a Millionaire. Classic comic Marilyn.

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

move out and draw fire

OK, I just tried the quiz, and got 27 titles. Out of 26.

And I can't listen to the sound here, so that probably hurts.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Bill & Ted 3 on the way.

I literally did Paul Gross arms just now. Luckily, I'm at home, so only the cats can look cross-eyed at me.

Yeah, I don't get how there's only 26 either. The only thing I can figure is that the pig is not a movie reference in and of itself.

"Oh, yeah, Terence...this better not be like after "Bill and Ted' when you said "I'll take Keanu...you take the other guy." --Ari Gold I'm kind of pleased about more Bill&Ted, though.

Pics from Alicia Silverstone's new vampire comedy.

Most of the comments are about how ragged Alicia looks--and I totally don't get it. What is she supposed to look like? She's totally pretty. And looks better than most of the 34 year olds you pass in the street, which is what "actresses" are supposed to achieve, no?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Eh. That first picture is unfortunate, but she looks totally fresh and dewy in some of the others.
