No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

If I have a soda in the theatre with me, I also have a giant tub of popcorn to absorb all the liquid.

What was the Fast Five scene?

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

The Rock is behind a desk, and Eva Mendes comes in and says "You have to see this". He's not interested because it's not the boys, but then she whips out a report of a recent heist, with a grainy photo of Michelle Rodriguez's (presumably dead) character.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

POTC 4 has a scene after the credits.

I'm disappointed that we're not going to be able to see Company. It's only playing at 2 today, which is exactly when our company for brunch are set to arrive.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Company won't be playing here, but to be honest I wasn't wowed by the number they did at the Tonys so my drive to go see it pretty much evaporated.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Thanks, P-C. We always stay through the end of the credits, so this was quite annoying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, you know what else about X-Men? I wish the clothes and hair had been more period.

And on Company, I was pretty impressed with the filming of a stage show, although they didn't need to spend quite so much time on close-ups (especially during the kickline!).

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

I wish the clothes and hair had been more period.

Yeah! I hope January Jones laughed in her hairstylist's face. "This is not a sixties hairdo. Do you see how it's moving when the wind blows?!"

And hers was the stiffest.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The US/Soviet naval confrontation bugged me. No way would all those ships be so close together. A battleship could blow away any ship within, say, 25 miles, so if you're the captain of a Soviet guided missile cruiser, you stay more than 25 miles away from a US battleship, where you could still hit it with your missiles.
