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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've heard that, and intentionally avoided learning more.

Still, maybe it'll show conservatives that trains are cool.

Because books.

The guy who played the crazy dad on One Tree Hill directed. That's ... surprising.

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

I just watched the trailer for Melancholia and now I can't help wondering if Lars von Trier has been pulling our leg his entire career.

I'm going to go with a "YES" with this. Which doesn't diminish the fact that he can make a great movie.

R.I.P. Sidney Lumet.

Aw. Sad now.

I just watched Speed Racer. Was that a movie or a candy-colored assault on my senses and/or film itself?

(I think I may have finally ended up kind of liking it by the end, but, seriously, what the living fuck was that.)

Sometimes I wish I was a film editor so I could take the theatrical release of Speed Racer and turn it into a damn fine 90 minute flick.

I mean, it was unlike anything I'd ever seen before, but not always in a good way. Well, usually not in a good way. But it was still pretty fun despite that. It was sort of like Sucker Punch with cars.

Plus John Goodman fighting ninjas. That was a keeper there alone.

ETA - I want to see it with a friend who's a car nut and just HAD to see it. We saw it in IMAX. You can't imagine the assault level of that, but I had fun (though it may have been due to audio-visual punch-drunkness).

It seemed like a movie that would have been much better in a theater. Or worse.

Plus John Goodman fighting ninjas.

More like a non-ja.
