Speaking of American Gods casting issues, everybody had Scatman Crothers as their mental image of Mr. Nancy, right?
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

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."
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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Ben Vereen? Maybe too old. It's also been a while since I read the book.

Best interactive movie experience: dark theatre, lots of geeks, black screen, Scully's voice: "Mulder?" Shriek of joy.
(I liked the X-Files movies, I love seeing Moose and Squirrel in action. Nyah.)
The Cowboys and Aliens preview got a good reaction, too. I may have to make sure I see that in a theatre with a good sound system, and not wait for the dollar movie.
