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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

...Michelle Yeoh is apparently not physically capable.

I'm guessing the writer is completely ignorant that she started out in Hong Kong action movies working with Jackie Chan and doing most of her own stunts.

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

Do I need to pull up the clip again of Michelle Yeoh driving a motorcycle onto a moving train?

Or kicking the shit out of a 7 foot guy while he's holding her at arm's length by the throat?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Yes and yes.

Michelle Yeoh, absolute badass on a motorcycle.

Hmph. They don't have the whole fight in Project S up, however, she's very badass in the trailer and that very last clip where she clocks the guy with the bag of coins is the fight I mean.

You should probably just watch Project S anyway.

Let me give you a one sentence review: It is way cooler than it it is good.

But you should totally watch cool things.

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

Big screen Doctor Whos? I've linked to the one that amused me most. Some of them are severely WTF? Others are reasonable suggestions. I have no idea how they'll go.

The posters for Happy Feet Two have sweaters on the "Two". I'm assuming it's because of the recent penguin sweater press, no? Which would make it a reasonably quick response to a press piece. Or did it predate that?

Has anyone else seen The Skin I Live In, the new Almodovar movie? I went to see it tonight, and (as I said so eloquently in Natter), whoa. I'm really not sure what I thought of it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Hoping to see it, but haven't yet. It's supposed to be pretty twisted, even for Almodovar, from what I heard.

Although I have to say Law of Desire was a massively eye-opening movie for me on a number of levels. Matador too, while on the subject.
