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.

The secondary characters were fun to watch, both in their movie roles and in the "Oh, hey, it's that guy" sense.
Sally Menke, a film editor who worked closely with Tarantino, found dead.
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.
Yes, I was on the way to the library thinking, "it's much nicer than yesterday, I can't even feel my eyeballs drying out." Then the sun came out from behind the clouds. I'm staying here for a while. I can't even conceive of going hiking yesterday. It was an effort walking across a parking lot.
