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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Replace the couple in question with a heterosexual one and no one would even be talking about it.

I agree. On the other hand, I think that was kind of the point, you know? It's not a movie made for people living in the liberal bubble coast cities, so I could appreciate the subversion-through-normalcy thing even as I was kind of bored.

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

So, I'm watching Eagle Eye on FX and I am wondering: is there any movie Shia LaBouf has been in in which his character does NOT have daddy issues?

It's striking how this is a theme in the 3-4 movies of his I've seen.

"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 don't think he does in the Transformers movies, but then again those scripts were about 90% stage directions for explosions or how much skin Megan Fox should show off in slow motion montages, so there probably wasn't room for anything like characterization.

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

I am thinking about watching Transporter 2 on FX. I have not seen the first. Will I be lost?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You can't watch Transporter 2 first! It'll be like reading Proust's À l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs without first having read Du côté de chez Swan.

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

(laughing out loud)

but I am finding it so entertaining!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You know, I was going to warn you off, le nubian, but I think watching the Transporter in reverse order might be best. I didn't make it through the second one, but if I hadn't been comparing it to the first (which I enjoyed SO MUCH) I might have liked it better.

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

oh shoot! well, the action scenes are intoxicating and the little boy is adorable. I will have to see the first movie now.

I just watched Eagle Eye, so I'm not really expecting high drama.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

What -t said. I haven't seen 3 yet, so I can't comment on that one.

Transporter is one of those where random rescued woman falls in immediate lust for her rescuer and sex ensues?
