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.

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

So, I have a lot of reactions to the article and to how the movie addressed difference. For example, when Magneto was speaking with Mystique and said he liked her the way she was, it is all well and good for him to say it - he doesn't have an obvious physical manifestation that he is different. I found that his perspective came from a very privileged position that he didn't thoroughly acknowledge.

it is all well and good to berate Charles Xavier but it is the rare individual whose initial reaction wouldn't be to come up a bit short at Mystique's natural appearance. Not to mention the fact that Magneto wouldn't be on the top of my "must date" list due to his quest for vengeance. Doesn't really make an ideal partner.

In any event, in the movie it was presented as a bit black and white to me.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

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

I just saw the title for this gif being "WATCH AS ERIK CONTEMPLATES ASKING MYSTIQUE TO MORPH INTO CHARLES. YOU WERE ALL THINKING IT, DON’T EVEN FRONT"

It's gayer than Supernatural. It's as gay as White Collar.

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

I just saw the naughty easter egg in the PoA credits. Is this real or a .gif? I don't own a copy or I could check myself.

Hmm. Nobody told me Kyle Chandler was in Super 8. And the reviews look good...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, this article about Clark Gable is SO GOOD. And check out her other Scandals of Classic Hollywood pieces, too. [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ooh, this article about Clark Gable is SO GOOD. And check out her other Scandals of Classic Hollywood pieces, too.

That's really fun but neglects one of the long-rumored scandals of Hollywood lore. Namely that the young, aspirant new-to-Hollywood Clark Gable serviced George Cukor (the gay director) when he first arrived, and it was because of this memory (Gable wasn't gay and was ashamed of his cocksuckage) he had Cukor fired from directing Gone With the Wind.

David, did you see their earlier story on Clara Bow? I'm only pointing this out because the bottom picture of her looks just like JZ.

Ooh, this article about Clark Gable is SO GOOD.

I totally agree with her on It Happened One Night.

I was surprised there was no mention of the "cock sock" Lombard supposedly gave Gable, unless I missed it (I kinda skimmed).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That Clara Bow picture is a little spooky.
