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.
Man, I just tracked down some versions of Han shooting first, and it was actually exciting. God, man. Just because it's your story doesn't mean it's your story, Lucas.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This is why I'm so glad DH snapped up the DVDs when he did - we have the Special Editions with the original theatrical cuts as bonus features.

Hey. New board.
Gris, you're aware the Blu-Ray versions have even more changes, right?
Yes. That's why it's a "cave" instead of a "bought them the second they were released with a huge joyous whoop." If they ever actually release a prettied-up theatrical version, I'll buy it too. But I don't think it's happening soon, and I want to see the movies in high quality, even if I have to grit my teeth through many bits.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I always thought it a shame that there were never any sequels to or alterations of the Star Wars trilogy.
The above refers to the old xkcd Matrix strip: [link]

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I finally saw Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy last night. It started off kind of slow, to me, but after 15 minutes or so I was totally sucked in. It reminded me of a David Lynch movie in that I found myself actively scanning for possible meaning in any given scene or interaction, because you never knew when a detail might be important. Gary Oldman was amazing. Tom Hardy was as beautiful as I've ever seen him. And I couldn't take my eyes off Benedict Cumberbatch in most of his scenes. He looked downright physically intimidating in one scene, and that's not something I've really associated with his other characters.

Clip from Haywire. I'm disappointed with how wooden an actress she is (though she was better than her colleague there), but I will be there for the fight scenes and the pretty people.

I just got passes to a free screening on Tuesday, but I don't know if I'll go. It's my only free night next week.
