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.

Thrive to spite them

The Haunting gives me the creeps when I watch it.

The film that just really gets to me is Nightmare Alley. I get the shudders thinking about it. (The whole geek aspect is what gets me).

Tonight Will and I went to see Three Musketeers. When it started all I could think about is velciraptors and airships.It was fun.

I saw trailers for Immortals which didn't look interesting. Mission Impossible, which Will wants to see and I was wishing it had someone else besides Tom Cruise. And One for the Money.

Katherine Heigl is not anyone I would have chose for Stephanie Plum. And Debbie Reynolds is not who I'd picture as Grandma Mazur but I'll probably go see it.

I saw trailers for Immortals which didn't look interesting.

It ought to be entertaining in a WTF-was-the-costume-designer-smoking? way, at least. It takes some real doing for my first thought upon seeing a set picture of a basically topless Kellan Lutz to be "What the hell is that on his head?!?"

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

It looks ludicrous to me in a way that it didn't occur to me that 300 might have appeared.

Art Crawl!!!

It looks like a wire sculpture of a chicken - complete with eggs.

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

Whoa. Somebody mentioned this on an AVClub thread on horror movies:

Apparently there are showings of Jaws where people sit in innertubes on the water and watch the movie projected onto a screen on the beach. That sounds like the scariest thing ever.

Considering I had a hard time going into swimming pools after seeing Jaws, that sounds terrifying. All those POV shots of the shark coming up on the people from below make you feel so vulnerable.

Why do I no longer watch horror movies?

Because I still think about Jaws while swimming at the lake house in Vermont, made my North Carolina boyfriend look under his Jeep Cherokee for weeks after we saw Cape Fear, and insist on always having a clear shower curtain.
