Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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.

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

I've never seen Moon.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Yeah, I'm way behind in my knowledge of film of French Black people, or more specifically, French Black musical artists.

Start with Josephine Baker and work forward, I think.

"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've thus far avoided seeing The Bear in the Big Blue House.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

A local theater is running Hitchcock films every couple of weeks. Last night I saw North by Northwest. The print wasn't the best, and the specks and color fades that barely register on my tv loom large on a movie screen. But the movie itself was delightful. I loved all of Eva Marie Saint's outfits, and Cary Grant was as Grantishly charming as ever. The secondary characters were fun to watch, both in their movie roles and in the "Oh, hey, it's that guy" sense.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I had no idea, until after reading news reports earlier today, that LA had been so hot. 113 degrees the day she died.

Yeah, it was a billionty degrees out yesterday, and the only thing keeping or just shy of a billionty today is cloud cover.
