'The Killer In Me'

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

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

I'm not sure how effective the accio spell is in maintaining the integrity of whetver you've got flying at you but I'm guessing 'accio apple' might be a wee bit less messy.

BTW I'd like to know what principle of 'Defence Against the Dark Arts' Quirrell was demonstrating on that iguana. At least Barty Crouch used invertebrates.

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

Another tidbit, Fluffy (the three headed dog) is wandering the Forbidden Forest. Playing tag with the Ford Anglia, I hope.

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

Huh. Another question answered: "Avada kedavra "is an ancient spell in Aramaic, and it is the original of abracadabra, which means "let the thing be destroyed." Originally, it was used to cure illness and the "thing" was the illness, but I decided to make it the "thing" as in the person standing in front of me."

Another huh: Tonks was a Huffelpuff.

Speaking of American Gods casting issues, everybody had Scatman Crothers as their mental image of Mr. Nancy, right?

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

I have to say, the Lego Harry Potter game for the ipad is pretty fucking fun. If it is anything like that, I'm all over it.

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

Ananse looks Morgan Freeman. I think I've known that longer than I've known who Morgan is.

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

Oooh, yeah, I like that one.

I'm not familiar with Peters, but his resume certainly looks up to the task of the song-and-dance man I envision the character to be. Though I think Hinton Battle would be my preference among still-living actors.
