I'm waiting for Cowboys and Aliens. That better not suck.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

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 suspect even if it does, I'll go see it anyway: it's got Indiana Jones and James Bond, with horses and six-shooters. And aliens! The only thing it's missing is maybe zombies.

Eh, I can live without car chases. Too much collateral damage--it's one reason I walked out of Batman Begins quite disgruntled, and haven't seen any of the others.

oh, I LOVE car chases. I've seen a whole lot of bad movies on the promise there are good car chases.

I've been known to just fast forward through The Blues Brothers to see the car chase.
Cowboys and Aliens had me at Daniel Craig as a cowboy with some bit of high tech on his arm.
And then they threw Harrison Ford on a horse, and I went "Oh my god, he's doing another western! But with space ships!"
Such utter glee.

Folks who love car chases have to check out Bullit, if they haven't already. Car chases old school (through San Francisco at the beginning).
Weren't the actors doing a lot of the actual driving in that?

Well, I know McQueen liked to do his own stunts (though obviously he didn't do the motorcycle stunt in The Great Escape), and he raced cars, so I think he probably did a fair amount of driving.
