Cashing in on the High School Musical craze!
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.
Also, fuck it, target demo wasn't even ALIVE for this. Bing, new idea. But I do worry that "our" grandchildren will end up watching junk we didn't care enough to steal from.

My Mother the Car: the Musical!
The two movies I walked out on were Clan of the Cave Bear, and Ocean's Twelve.
Oh my god. Ocean's Twelve was SO BAD, particularly compared to how much fun Ocean's 11 was.
re: Ocean's 11.
I only watched it indifferently. What was Julia Roberts' place in the plot, other than as the bone that was being fought over?
To alleviate the total sausage-fest.
The above comments are particularly funny in light of the original Ocean's 11, which was one of the most offensively sexist films I've ever seen.

Perfect.
Thanks, but I am really becoming concerned about this.Because I really don't have a problem with remakes, really. A few are even good.But I don't want to know about the fifth-generation Herbie the Love Bug movie. Because that Superman reboot is my current Worst Movie Ever standard...there can be such a thing as things being over.
What is with our compulsion to take perfectly complete cultural experiences and redo them?
Retelling stories is as old as stories though. And it's certainly been a tradition since the beginning for film.
