Holy crap is right.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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.

Because books.
That seemed the same as the other one! Tease!
I'm so happy. I was almost nervous to watch it, in case it didn't live up to expectations. Now I'm just thinking, shit, how long do we have to wait to see the whole thing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, really? When I clicked on your link, I got a 1-minute teaser. Weird!
I can't stand the anticipation!!

I probably linked the wrong thing. Anyway!
Elizabeth Banks looks a little creepier as Effie than I imagined, but Donald Sutherland and Lenny Kravitz look perfect. And Jennifer Lawrence is great.

Effie should be so creepy!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
When these movies come out, would it be worth giving them their own thread the way we did with LotR? I have a feeling they'll be taking over both Movies and Literary...
(No strong feelings either way on my end, just wondering if folks would prefer a dedicated Hunger Games location.)

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
Effie should be so creepy!
agreed!!
i'm so damn excited. i'm trying to keep a handle on it because i know movies are never as good as their books, but...gah!!

I never thought about a separate thread. I missed the LotR one.
Also, Primrose looks exactly the way I pictured her. Prim!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Haters are coming forth in the IO9 post. Olive skinned means black, obviously, and this is just a white version of Battle Royale.
Man, people tire me sometimes.

Just sometimes?
