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.
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.
I remember what I believe was a Hammer Frankenstein flick, and the image I remember is of a woman covering up the scar connecting her head to her body with a choker, and she was wearing an empire-waist dress at a ball, so it was probably set in the Regency period when the book was written. Any ideas on which movie that might be?
That was a made-for-TV miniseries of Frankenstein: The true story
eta: and of course, Frankenbudda beat me to it! that's what I get for skipping ahead!

Oooh, my memory was right. It was Jane Seymour who played that version of the bride. I meant to check imdb yesterday but got sidetracked.

OMG, you're right! That fits with what I remember. Thanks for that IMDB link--there were a lot of big names in that cast, from James Mason to a pre-Doctor Who Tom Baker.

That scene with the head pulling? Stays with me.
It was a very pretty production.
