P-C, you have a great way with a phrase. "Also, a Scotland Yard inspector must endure his wife's gourmet cooking," indeed.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Heh, thanks. Although I think I was basically paraphrasing the Amazon.com review for that one (in that I totally took "endure" from there, so I do not deserve much credit).

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
What a tool. If you ever watched "At The Movies"(at least when Siskel was on it) I always got the impression that both guys knew a lot about film analysis...they just didn't feel that geeking out about, say, Truffaut, made for mainstream television viewing. Which, outside of Buffistas, I would say is a decent call on their part. And I don't think we're supposed to take thumbs-up very seriously, or at least, Ebert does not. I would agree that Douchebag McCritic shouldn't shy away from critiquing the reviews of a cancer survivor, but it seems distasteful to take such pleasure in calling him a know-nothing that wrecked the film industry...almost like Ann Coulter, who thinks she's ballsy when she's mostly mean and stupid.(Not to make it red/blue...Maureen Dowd does the same thing sometimes...mostly not to widows and orphans, however) And he pretty much called his own mother an idiot...my mother would be pissed if I wrote about her that way, but she liked "Taxi Driver"...I think she recommended it to me.

Today is Kenneth Anger's birthday. So I wrote about him for Hilobrow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Brooklyn Decker (seriously, WTF?) says about Battleship:
"Yeah it's funny. I think Alex [Skarsgard] said something that the game was the inspiration for the movie and not necessarily the storyboard for the movie and I would be in agreement with that. It's an action/war film, so we draw inspiration from the game in that it is called 'Battleship' and Hasbro is heavily involved."
"It is a modern day war action film, which is kind of unique to most war films. This is modern day so it's exciting."
Someone (multiple someones) in the IO9 comments note that the US no longer has battleships, but whatev.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, I only want to see Battleship because I wanna see all this technology that was cutting edge in the early 1940s. The electro-mechanical analog computers they used to aim the big guns were very advanced for their day, so they were never replaced with modern computers.

Yuck. I didn't like her in Bond.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I hated her as Sybilla in Kingdom of Heaven.
