I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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.

LOL.

Mal is right between Ellie and Owen on this - he will constantly ask what things are or what's going on, but he usually groks the movie right away, despite the chatter. Like I said, his life is a watch-and-post.

It means I don't want to take him to an actual theater tho, as I'm afraid other viewers would kill us.

ION, I just got back from Star Trek. Man, that was fun! Best shout-out to previous canon may have been Nero yelling "SPPAAAAWWWWCCCKKK!" like "KHHHAANNN!"

Although, the first instance of that I swear he said "FUCK."

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

I am so in love with Leonard Nimoy. Undiminished. Foxy foxy.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Raq, I agree about that moment. I laughed at that moment. It was funny!

I want Kirk's motorcycle. I may or may not want the Sea-Doo on steroids that the cop was riding, but it seemed pretty awesome, too.

So it occurs to me that the scene of the Enterprise being built - the first trailer I saw for Star Trek - wasn't in the movie. But the Enterprise was new in the movie...so a year before the events of the movie, she was under construction...like when we were watching her being built.

Not quite as viral of marketing as Cloverfield, but whatever.

I'm not sure what to make of Pixar - every premise is so amazingly sad that I tear up just reading about it. And I always swear I'm not going to go see the movie because I don't want to bawl in public. And yet, they always pull it off.

Even in the case of Up! where they are re-telling Monster House in a more whimsical way.

We did see the ship being built. Kirk looks. But not the footage we'd seen before.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So, I just saw Terminator.

IMO, this is not a good movie. It is better than Wolverine, but not good. This movie has a whole lot of cliches and is predictable.

On the other hand, the movie wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it was a bit boring in places.

I know this is Buffista Converstation #something, but oh, Moulin Rouge. Yes, the characters are paper-thin. Yes, nothing but a re-telling of La Boheme. But it's So. Damn. Pretty.

Always Anti-fascist!

I know...I'm kind of embarrassed that I like it, but I do. It's such a teenage mess of a thing. And Ewan.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Heh. Me three. Only the costumes, Choreography and art direction more than the people. (Not that the people are not pretty. But the overall look of the film is even prettier. And I like the use of anachronistic use of pop hits of the past few decades.) Yes, I'm shallow.
