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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Is Suckerpunch based on a graphic novel or is it just trying to look like it is?

move out and draw fire

I've had that same question, sj. Based on reading the reviews I'd say no, but the logo desgin seems too good for Hollywood.

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

James Van Der Beek makes a movie with Sam Elliot. Antonio Banderas and Snoop Dogg star. Cosmic sex happens.

I am curious.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I really liked Watchmen

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I liked it too, Laga. And I liked Dawn of the Dead. But 300 was surprisingly boring.

Would 300 have been a good movie in a language you did not speak?

Dawn of the Dead is probably the movie that turned me into a true horror fan. I didn't enjoy 300 much but I'm glad I saw it so I could really appreciate Robot Chicken's 1776.

"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 enjoyed it, but that was due to a combination of the art direction, cinematography, and Gerard Butler's personal trainer.

Saw Limitless. Liked it. Implausible, but they made a good stab at covering the angles. Bradley is a good sympathetic smarmy bastard. But, oh god, that final haircut made me laugh out loud.

That's good to hear, ita. I was just coming to see if anyone had been to Limitless, I'm supposed to go with my dad and my daughter tomorrow.
