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 imagine it's a lot easier to bring this sort of thing up when there's someone else in the room who will say "Yeah, I noticed that too."

From the interviews I've seen, yep. Three, and you get to awesome balance! And there may also be unicorns.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I recall my nephew telling me that casting-wise it was an asset for him that he looks "ambiguously ethnic". I'll have to ask him where he heard that and does it mean that, as a 3/4 caucasian person, he has just as much of a shot at any particular role as the actor who is 100% the ethnicity the casting department is looking for.

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

50 upcoming movie remakes. I'm kinda traumatised by some of these. Though I will watch the hell out of Tom Hardy as Mad Max. Oh, yeah.

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

I'm kinda traumatised by some of these.

Was Porkey's one of those?

Also, ‘The Black Hole’ ? ‘Yellow Submarine’ ? (Are they gonna use The Beatles' music for that?)

Hitchcock should not be remade. Nor should My Fair Lady, or Arthur, even with Helen Mirren.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Arthur: Russell Brand and Helen Mirren? Whuhuh?

But have you seen some of the pictures from filming? As long as I don't think of it as a remake, the two of them together is a trip.
