I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And Dally had ice-blue eyes, unlike Matt Dillon! (I am glad I'm not the only one still carrying this stuff around....)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Apparently there are others who share my opinion.

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

When I think of great adaptations, I think of Princess Bride, Fight Club, and Scott Pilgrim, among others. Movies that A) were true to the spirit of the book, B) used the media of film creatively, and C) even improved on some things here and there.

I can't really have an opinion about the quality of the movie, since it came out at a too-formative age for me. I still looooooved it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I'm with Jesse. I think we were at the same, formative age.I just realized that I had mentally replaced Matt Dillon with Christian Slater as Dally. Weird.

I was super jealous that my best friend had cable, so she could watch it basically every day of 5th grade.

Also, this review of Rob Lowe's new memoir includes a bunch (relatively) about The Outsiders: [link]

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

But The Outsiders movie is still considered pretty great and was at the time as well, personal nit-picks aside.
