Oh, and I loved Brandon Routh in Scott Pilgrim.
Oh my god, yes.
Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

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.
I didn't like anyone in Scott Pilgrim not Knives or not a sassy drummer. Or a skateboarder. I did like the skateboarder. The rest of the movie? Pfft.

Sam Huntington as the zombified comedic sidekick has me sold on the movie ahead of time.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Duncan Jones (the artist previously known as Zowie Bowie) explains what happened at the end of Source Code. Spoilery, 'natch.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That is an awesome cameo!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That got me thinking about closing credits, and how I don't usually stay, but remembered I have to stay for the closing credits of GL because one of my best girlfriend's cousins and my BFF's roomate (same person) is working on the special effects!
How cool is that?

Very cool.
When I lived in LA it was interesting going to the movies there because people don't generally leave until the credits are over. And I realized it's because lots of people in LA know somebody who works in the movies.

I have watched some horrible movies (Hi The Gaurdian I'm looking at you!) because they were filmed in Shreveport just so that I could see who I know who worked, or were in them. Next up Drive Angry!

Heh, we usually stay through the credits because we like to see where they filmed, and I love to read names - some of the tech people have really cool names - and yeah, sometimes my company or one of our customers gets name checked so we stay, but mostly for the cool names.
