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.

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

ita, I was just coming here to post that! (I ganked it from Knut on FB.)
I think I'll just keep looking at stills from the battle scenes and try to be content with that. And maybe go see Rango. (What? He's a talking lizard that isn't selling car insurance! What's not to love?)

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, after reading that I don't think I'll be seeing Sucker Punch. Or maybe I'll wait for Netfix.

Good on them for fighting that stereotype.

I'm glad I read the spoiler at the end of Annalee's review. I would have been spitting nails if I had paid money and saw that happen at the very end of the movie.

Apparently she didn't spoil the ending, as she revealed to some people complaining about it.
THERE'S MORE. And possibly worse.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm off to go see it! Maybe I will be the one person who likes it.
MAYBE.

Oh my god, me too. Big time.

Oh god damn. Yeah, I'll just stick to the stills of chicks in steampunk gear using big guns.

Because books.
I'm so disappointed. I wanted it to be more, but I had no idea Snyder was going there with the ending. I knew the plot was going to have problems, but blech.
