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.

Based on Caldecott winner The Invention of Hugo Cabret, which I still need to read.
Directed in 3D by Scorsese.

bird flu (or whatever) movie
Contaigon? My company's going to be in it (unless they cut it). Apparently someone from Soderbergh's production office saw our truck delivering on the lot and liked our logo, strange, eh? They sent a 2nd unit team to our Atlanta office to do a couple of days of filming background stuff w/ our trucks, dock, uniforms and stuff like that while they were shooting around the CDC.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Contaigon?
That one. And fun!

They had some of our staff walking around in the warehouse so we may get to play "spot the employee" or not depending on what film they use, if they use it at all.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
World War Z movie synopsis is nothing like the book, internet melts down.
Well, dammit. I shouldn't be surprised, but I was hoping they would try to do something interesting and different.

I'm not surprised. How could they have done anything like the book, with a Hollywood movie? It's an oral history, and the Americans don't single-handedly save the world! Of course it was going to be rewritten. A lot. We're going to get Independence Day with zombies.

Oh God, you're right. I mean, I love Independence Day, but that's not what I want from a World War Z movie.

One-sentence blurb for a movie still in production is not exactly like the book; geeks are outraged because it's been 2 hours since they were outraged about something I guess.
Did people really think that the movie would be Brad Pitt traveling around 10 years later, talking to survivors? So basically he'd just be introducing a series of flashbacks featuring other people? Oh, and we'd already have an idea of how things worked out! Plus things about certain characters that could be revealed gradually in text will be obvious from the start because it's a visual medium!
...I hate my people.

So my question is why not just option Return of the Living Dead 7 if all you want is a standard action hero zombie movie writ large? I doubt that would have every geekish critic and blogger screaming "Save your money!" from the rooftops the way they seem to be doing now.
