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.

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

I'm determined to finish the rest of my Halloween list, but I've got so much else to do. Okay, once I finish my next Horror piece for HiLo.

Emmett and I are back from seeing 50/50.

It was very funny, and very affecting. Just really had the details of dealing with cancer down. The humor came from inside the experience. And the two biggest crypoints for me were Adam's breakdown in the car, and Adam finding Kyle's copy of Getting Through Cancer Together (or whatever it was called) and seeing all the underlined and annotated passages.

Emmett's crypoint was Adam's little freakout as he's getting anesthesia.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Mine was the same as Emmett's.

And also: just before that, when he told his dad that he knew that it was confusing for him, but that he loved him.

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

50/50 looks like a good movie, but I have to get a lot farther away from cancer before I can see it, that's for sure.

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

Oh, fuck yeah. My sister saw it shortly before my mother's diagnosis. I wish I had.

Finnick? I have no idea how well he can act. Someone just showed up on The Secret Circle that looked kinda like my mental picture too.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Finnick? I have no idea how well he can act.

Huh. All I've seen him in is the atrocious Aquaman pilot and Smallville, so it's hard to say. But visually he's golden god enough, and he'd be about the right age, yes?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

No matter who is eventually cast as Finnick, I expect various portions of the intarwebs will explode when the announcement is made. I'm also dying to see who ends up getting cast as Johanna and as Coin.

Wasn't Justin Hartley just on Chuck? Plus - he really grew on me as Green Arrow on Smallville.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

He was! I could see him as Finnick, for sure.
