Huh. Roxanne was the only part of the film that I disliked.
Angel's lame. His hair goes straight up, and he's bloody stupid!

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Huh. Roxanne was the only part of the film that I disliked.
And so between the both, you see, they licked Baz Luhrmann clean.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I love that scene so much that I have a hard time listening to the original song. I'm all like "Your voice is not gravelly enough, Sting! And you do not have a violin playing creepy minor-key accents! Improve!"
Ha, yeah, the radio keeps playing the original song, and it makes me want to listen to the MR version instead.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Me too.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
You know, I don't think the new Holmes movie can be any worse for the canon than Young Sherlock Holmes or a number of other movie variations we've seen in the past.
I loved YSH, but then again, I was also seventeen and nursing a mad crush on Anthony Higgins (Rathe).
I also absolutely love the score to that film and wish to high heaven I could find it.
I, uh...I had that score. On cassette tape. Unfortunately, I think I sold it at a yard sale. For, like, a dime.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hey Miracleman, what's up? Did you hear there's some "science fiction" movie out? Space Trek or something like that?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'm all like "Your voice is not gravelly enough, Sting! And you do not have a violin playing creepy minor-key accents! Improve!"
I completely agree.

x-posty from F2F:
Chicagoistas - I want to go see Star Trek and/or Terminator at some point this weekend. Anyone else interested? Both are playing all over the place, but the AMC Rivereast or that one on Western and Diversey would be my first picks.

I've been blind ever since I tore out my eyes trying to escape from Moulin Rouge. I could still hear, so I seared my ears with burning wax. Music was ruined for me forever so I also cut out my tongue. But now I sure play a mean pinball.

Interesting....
SF movies from bygone days were inflation-adjusted blockbusters
Planet of the Apes and 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Prior to Star Wars, this was science fiction's one-two punch at the box office, and it was a pretty hefty combination: Planet of the Apes, helped by the star power of Charlton Heston, brought in $32 million -- equivalent to $175 million today, and a sum no one would complain about. 2001, with its groundbreaking special effects and oh-so-serious weirdness, did even better: $56 million, or just over $300 million today, which would have put it at number four in last year's box office list, just below the latest Indiana Jones flick. The two movies in fact helped spur a series of largely dystopic, serious-minded science fiction flicks, such as Silent Running and Soylent Green (not to mention, in the case of Apes, a bunch of sequels).
