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.

Mary-Louise Parker almost stole the movie with her I'm-up-for-anything attitude.

The scene in the elevator, for example.

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

Orci and Kurtzman shopping around Ender's Game script.

Superman cast.

Batman's a Brit, Superman's a Brit, Spiderman grew up in the UK...good god, y'all.

These are the actors not the characters right? Cause I'm fine with Brits (or anyone qualified) playing Americans. I mean they are English speaking actors; if they can't do an American accent then the problem isn't their background.

Captain America (at least he's a Yank! Green Lantern's fucking Canadian) on the cover of Empire.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Captain America (at least he's a Yank! Green Lantern's fucking Canadian) on the cover of Empire.

That's fair, Captain America's really the only superhero I would regard as being necessarily American. With the Constitutionally mandated exception of Super President.

I couldn't give a shit what nationality plays who. As long as it's not like you can tell by looking.

Well, there go my plans to re-envision Batman in a cork hat and stubbies.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think it would have bothered me a little bit for Captain America. But as long as Cavill can make Superman sound like he was raised in Kansas, he's good with me. Certainly beats whatever travesty of the character Nicholas Cage would have inflicted on the viewing public.
