Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Emperor's New Groove is awesome, and everyone should love it.

I would have included that, but I thought it made pretty decent money and got really good reviews, IIRC.

For underrated movies I like (or movies I think were underrated?), I love Wild Things and Malice. Both twisty with great casts, and one has sort of regular porn, and one has old house porn.

Love both of those!

Wild Things has great end credits. Also? Bill Murray in a great cameo role.

And Malice has some great lines. Also? Bebe Neuwirth as the local sheriff.

Blended whiskey is CRAP!

What do I want? I want the Red Sox to win a World Series...what do you think I want? I WANT HALF!

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

Also? Bill Murray in a great cameo role.

He's had some great cameos and small roles. How many lines did he have in Tootsie? Maybe 12? All gold.

And ad-libbed from what I've read.

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

TCG and I watched Raising Arizona last night. He had never seen it before, and I hadn't seen it in ages. I think it holds up quite well.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

So it turns out When Harry Met Sally... is really good.

Yes it is! I love that movie.

When Harry Met Sally is one of those movies that I cannot resist watching every time I flip by it on the TV. Love it! I wish romantic comedies today were more like that.

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

Waiter, there is too much pepper on my paprikash

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

You know, I have a theory that hieroglyphics are just an ancient comic strip about a character named Sphinxy.

When Harry Met Sally is one of those movies that I cannot resist watching every time I flip by it on the TV. Love it! I wish romantic comedies today were more like that.

Yeah, I liked how focused it was. It felt believable and mature.
