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.

For some reason, I became mildly obsessed with the idea of passes to a free screening of this specific movie. I should support badassed woman kicking serious heiney with my dollars, but I'm scared this movie will suck, despite all the other talent.

(Who the fuck puts Channing Tatum in the same movie as Ewan McGregor and Fassbender? Why you want to do that to me?)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm sure we are going to see it, ita.

Someone who knew that the latter two are far too talented and sought-after to submit to the casting couch, but figured third time's the charm?

Hey, how do you feel about Saturday morning matinees? I can't recommend them highly enough.

Look at this analysis of the visuals of movies. I'd love to get my hands on this app, which uses an interesting graphing method to codify the palettes, scene lengths, and amount of movement in various movies. I love graphing methods, and I love movies.

And I'm perfectly willing to decide I can tell if I'm likely to enjoy a movie depending on its graph, but I NEED TO SEE MORE.

move out and draw fire

Oh, that's wicked cool.

The analysis of porn even looks porny.

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

I swear I can look at the graph for Alien and tell that I like it, and at the one for 2001 and tell that I don't.

I also understand I'm making shit up, but there you go.

Someone elsewhere keeps trying to convince me to lower my action movie bar. I don't get why he's so invested in me liking Tom Cruise or Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, but he's remarkably dogged. I keep trying to explain to him my bar isn't particularly high (I mean Bad Boys passes). I just want engaging characters who look like they can handle themselves. I find Tom Cruise laughable most of the time, and Arnold hasn't convinced me of anything the movie seemed to intend outside of T1.

He can't let it go.

I hope that's not me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I love the Cinemetrics thing. I'm all, "see, I TOLD you nothing fucking happened in 2001!" (let's never mind that I'm telling the cat.)
