Buffistas

We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai

Closed Film and TV threads

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 kinda think the issues with Bane are 80% just Hardy's voice. The mask does muffle him, and you can't see his lips, which contributes as well. But I watched some clips of him from other things last night; and when he lowers his voice he gets into a Vin Diesel rumble-rumble thing. After a few minutes I adjust; short clips are probably not the best way to tell if it's a problem.

I also caught a bad copy of the prologue last night (it's already gone). I did miss a couple of his lines, but between the thing happening, and the other thing happening, and the variety of accents, almost everyone's hard to understand. But... dialogue is not really the focus of that sequence.

I AM VERY EXCITED.

I didn't think I would be, then I watched the trailer.

WANT HOBBITY MOVIE NOW. NOT NEXT YEAR, NOW.

I'm not sure of that, sumi. If the book is cut into two parts, I would bet Smaug won't show up until Part 2...

Never seen any of the MOthra, but from Wikipedia, I gather Mothra was a good monster, summoned to fight evil monsters. True? Also Mothra fought Godzilla, but in one of the "Mothra vs. Godzilla" they teamed up against a third evil monster. True? If I'm wrong did Godzilla ever save the world (or portion of it) by taking on a worse monster?

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

Definitely. Godzilla vs. Ghidorah!

Mothra - it should be noted - is a Girl Monster. Also, she's associated with Japanese gods and the Phoenix.

Smaug is in part 2, and Smaug parts haven't been done yet. I think Smaugness starts next month or the month after.

Signed, hey, my Tumblr tracked tags come in handy there.
