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.

Hey. New board.

There's a slightly different retcon given in one of the Expanded Universe novels, in which it's explained that there's actually a giant field of black holes near Kessel. When Han was trying to avoid getting boarded, he ran very close to the holes, so close that parts of the hull got ripped of, and apparently actually shifted space-time.

Of course, both of these retcons are stupid in that Han uses the "less than twelve parsecs" thing to brag about how fast the ship is, not how good a navigator Chewie is or how reckless they are.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

this is not right.

Idris Elba was supposed to play Alex Cross in a new movie. He dropped out. Guess which Black actor they cast in his place?

You have 2 guesses.

They can't be serious. This has got to be a publicity stunt...or else, that guy really has made a deal with the devil.

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

Ha! He's broached the forcefield between his movies and the rest of the world, and there's no going back. Also, no chance I'll watch the movies now. That guy is poison to me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Idris Elba would have been PERFECT. I am displeased.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'm trying to think who could possibly be worse casting for that role. I'm drawing a blank.

Cuba Gooding?

Chris Tucker?

No. Still not as wrong-headed.

This has got to be a publicity stunt...or else, that guy really has made a deal with the devil.

Or Rob Cohen did and the devil just came collecting.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Is Let Me In worth watching if I loved Let the Right One In?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is Let Me In worth watching if I loved Let the Right One In?

Yes.
