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.

It's deliberately ambiguous but yeah, you can certainly take it that 90% of the movie is his fantasy, and the happy ending is the last thing he imagines before he's incepted lobotomized.

New Star Wars movie rumors. Oh, God, please no.
I like the article's suggestion that George Lucas needs a wedgie.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Just saw RED. So much fun. And the bit at the end, with the little nuclear problem in Moldova, had me rolling with laughter. There is in fact quite the stash of old Soviet weaponry there, in the semi-autonomous and hostile region of Transnistria .
