Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm starting to think I'm remembering something that didn't really happen (well, actually remembering a description of something that didn't really happen).

In college I took a science-fiction film class, and one of the films was 2001. I swear to god I remember the teacher saying that at the premiere of the movie (or maybe press screenings?) there were memos on the seats explaining (and here's where my memory gets fuzzy -- but this was 1992, okay?) either the fact that there is no sound in outer space, or possibly what would happen to the human body in the vacuum of space.

I've googled all manner of word combinations and I can't find any proof of this mythical memo. So possibly it's a false memory implanted in my brain by Kubrick.

I thought that if anyone might know about this, my Buffistas would. Anybody know anything about this?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Not sure if this was already posted, but felt it needed to be shared. Want to see a reunion picture of (most) of the cast of Princess Bride?

As you wish.

This week's Entertainment Weekly is so much fun with all the reunions! How in the world did I not realize that Mandy Patinkin played Inigo Montoya?!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

How in the world did I not realize that Mandy Patinkin played Inigo Montoya?!

He's talked about how, at every single concert he gives, he has to say those immortal words. Once he'd nearly forgotten, and then ran out after the final encore to strike his pose and then the entire audience chanted along with him: "Hallo. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

The Princess Bride with cats.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Steph, I can ask my dad if he remembers anything like that - I know he saw it in theatres when it first came out. (I can't promise he'll have a helpful answer...like most of the rest of the audience he was probably high at the time.)

[eta: He doesn't remember a memo.]

Thanks! I'm starting to think that either I invented a memory, or the film professor was full of crap.
