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.

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

Yes, he was Sinestro (guess the plot of GL2) in Green Lantern. I knew he was good, I just didn't expect this...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I mean, I guess that if the arrow itself was real, then that's why the wrist, but she still shouldn't have extended her finger.

And okay, yes, point taken on trigger fingers off guns, but I also get annoyed at that, so I am internally consistent!

I hope it won't affect the quality of the drama, but I do hope it doesn't indicate a fundamental lack of basic archery knowledge on the part of the actor. But it probably doesn't. It doesn't look like a production shot, so I'm willing to grant some leeway.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

There doesn't appear to be an arrow rest, so it might be that the picture was snapped just as the arrow fell off the grip -- as a result of the horrible left hand grip and bad nocking.

To be fair, I felt that the books themselves indicated a fundamental lack of archery knowledge on the part of the writer...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Absolutely an excellent point, Suela!

Okay, dcp, I could totally buy that. That would explain the angle, for sure.

[link] for who he is, which will give you the role.

Thanks. Turns out the only thing I've seen him in is Sherlock Holmes where he only registered because I thought he looked so much like Andy Garcia.

Because books.

I thought he looked so much like Andy Garcia.

For no good reason, I kept thinking he was the elder Malfoy at first.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

He was fantastic and mesmerizing and hot in that Leonardo DiCaprio movie that I can't remember the name of. Where Leo's a spy and Mark is a sheik or something.

Body of Lies, that's it. He was om nom nom. And he played the bastard rich beau in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. Lee Pace won the om nom nom award in that movie.
