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.

Hey, they're in production for the new Daniel Craig James Bond movie! About fucking time.
It's titled: Skyfall.
Ralph Fiennes is in it, as is Helen McCrory (aka, Narcissa Malfoy). On that note, did you all know that Michael Gambon was offered the role back in the sixties after Sean Connery left? He turned it down telling the producers he couldn't do the shirtless scenes as he "had tits like your granny."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Peter Jackson Hobbit blog on 3D. Completely fascinating 11 minutes that draws you back into the level of detail, and makes me sad because the DVDs (BluRays) for this are not going to be enough for the experience. But, oh god, I can't wait for December 2012. Just hearing the strains of music made my heart leap!
They're fucking hand drawing concept art in 3D, two people at a time.

For reasons of whatever, I've been reading a Salon article about The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and I'm struck by what the screenwriter said:
“I don’t believe in research. You have to tell a story in a movie. Sometimes the facts disturb all that. I was asked to adapt, and that was what I decided to do.”
Don't you at least have to do the research so you know what you're adapting? Maybe life is actually a really good story--go on, check it out.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I just saw Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. Hilarious, but seriously, seriously gory. Less disturbingly so than, let's say, early Peter Jackson, but still gross if that's a thing for you. Alan Tudyk is great as always, but the real surprise was how sweet Tyler Labine was. After only knowing him as Sock on Reaper (who almost drove me away before they started introducing an interesting mythology before being cancelled), he was really funny in this. Playing a character with a bit of self-awareness and self-consciousness definitely helps him. Definitely worth a rental.
On a quasi-related note (horror movies), Hec, you magnificent bastard, I am loving your 60's horror movie posts on HILOWBROW. Have you ever thought of doing a movie book?

Thank you! And may I say, my editor likes it when people LIKE it on Facebook so if any of you feel like giving it a click, it gives him a happy and ultimately I wind up getting more writing opportunities and money etc. (HiLobrow is somewhat related to an online writing group that includes a lot of editors and publishers so it gets seen by people who can help me.)

This is definitely a conscious push on my part to break out of music writing and establish myself in writing about film. I have just started to get a notion that I'll have written about half a book's worth of material by the time I'm done with this.
