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.

Oh, that last conversation over the radio between Steve and Peggy had me bawling like a baby and scrubbing tears off my cheeks.

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

Wow. I was stone cold throughout. That's not usually me.

Quick show of hands: does anyone who saw the theatrical trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes feel like anything would be added to their experience by actually seeing the full length movie?

It was kind of the whole movie.

Yeah, but I need to see whether that ape actually reached that helicopter.

Nope. After all, I know how it ends.

That said, my suspenders of disbelief broke shortly into the trailer, because what with habitat destruction and poaching, the population of great apes is incredibly small--no matter how intelligent they became, they could never conquer 6 billion human beings, not unless they engaged in some insta-cloning process or something.

Surely they will engage in some sort of monkey business.
