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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, I didn't want to see that Crash. It looked too much like Grand Canyon in its white liberal rich Angeleno guilt trip o' doom.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Ouch. That... really doesn't work.

No, it didn't. Especially since none of the lyrics were changed.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, I wish I would have talked to you first, then. Though I suppose it helps to have a baseline for self-indulgent movie-making and it did make make me laugh in spots. It didn't mean to, but it did anyway.

An executioner in Brighton might be a good thing.

Compassionately intolerant

Movies I hated:

Short Cuts...Altman = genius, I'm down with that, but yesh, that movie inspired such an ire...which I suppose means it worked.

Crash...as stated above...After Hours (at the time I described it like slowly ripping adhesive tape off a open wound)...Interview with a Vampire (way to destroy all my teenage fantasies retroactively)...Fill in any of the Star Wars Reduxes (same reason)...anything by Solandz, Ferrara (except Crime Story) or LeBute.

Hours I wish I had back.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

The two movies I walked out on were Clan of the Cave Bear, and Ocean's Twelve.

Hated Grand Canyon with a passion.

Re: Star Trek.

I am reserved. I am bouyed that so many here liked it a lot, but as I told Joe this morning, I am afeared that it will be High School Musical with prosthetic ears.

I'm also annoyed because I have Star Trekkin' stuck in my damn head.

There were funny bits in Starship Troopers? Other than standard "we're having witty banter now" moments?

It's not as funny as Robocop, but there are the TV spots, and Michael Ironside, and, as mentioned, Nazi Doogie...

After Hours (at the time I described it like slowly ripping adhesive tape off a open wound)...

Oh! I loved After Hours.
