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 a totally wonderful vid. I may watch it again tonight.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

That's fabulous, 'suela, and I told her so. Thank you!

I saw Tron: Legacy last night in Imax 3-D. I thought it was a lot of fun, but the presentation helped (Jordan's Furniture has subwoofers built into temprapedic foam movie chairs). Seriously odd role for Michael Sheen.

Odd role for him, but he was having so much fun with it.

The guy's career spans from David Frost to a 700 year-old werewolf revolutionary to the White Rabbit. I'm not sure any role would seem odd for him.

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

They need to blurb this article, stat, for Season of the Witch. It might not get better than that.

That flowchart for Black Swan was fantastic. Much appreciated.

A group of us last night watched Moulin Rouge, which I always somehow forget how much I love. The scene with the dancing waiters will never not be funny. I feel like a lot of insanity and/or drugs went into the creation of that film, and I'm more or less OK with that. I always want to hit STOP as soon as the curtain falls at the end, but I have thankfully seen it enough times now that I don't cry anymore.

I saw The King's Speech last night, and enjoyed it enormously. Not least because of the (to me) unexpected casting of Jennifer Ehle as Mrs. Logue. Halfway through the movie, I realized why I'd kept staring at her--she really does have the most striking eyes.

So fun to see her in a movie with Colin Firth again, even though they barely interacted.

Highly recommend the film, by the way: stellar casting, great writing, and quite engaging. It felt like a romance in its structure, frankly.

We're watching one of Pete's Christmas presents tonight: the blu-ray of Alien. (The 2003 director's cut version.) I haven't seen it since ... huh, probably 2003. It's been long enough that I remember the broad outlines of the plot, but not the specifics.

The sound design & effects are great. And the sets are amazing.
