Jane is the Realator who sends Aunt Josephine to gasp in mortal terror. (It's a great take by Meryl.)

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Just finished. I had remembered that the closing credits were also amazing, but I'd forgotten just how amazing.
Damn, that movie has so many virtues and its many virtues are so spectacular. Its only, only flaw is Jim Carrey; I could forgive his presence more easily if everything else weren't so very, very good.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Unfortunate Glee:Hawaii Five-O sighting. I found myself utterly unable to believe that a Filipino terror organization was headed up by Coach Tanaka.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Ha, yes, I saw that episode too. Though I doubt this is the right thread.

I keep thinking I want to watch A Series of Unfortunate Events again, and then I remember HOW MUCH Jim Carrey ruined the movie for me.

Actually his impact lessens on repeat viewings. You spend more time (a) loving the kid casting; (b) loving the costuming; (c) loving the set designs; (e) loving the opening and closing credits; and (f) loving the supporting actors, especially Meryl Streep just killing in one of her all-time best comic roles.

This is the effect Jim Carrey has for me for every movie I've seen him in.

I like The Mask and The Truman Show.
And I may try and rewatch ASOUE soon, if it's on Nexflix Instant.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So today we watched The Devil Bat, in which Bela Lugosi concocts a special aftershave to put on his victims ("Rub it on the tender parts of your neck"). The aftershave attracts the gigantic DEVIL BAT he creates with electricity and glandular...something or other. It's so ridiculous, but it's a really good bad movie! Very entertaining.
