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.

Tang? Are you trying to scare her away?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Aims, that is so awesome! Pretty fabulous list. I've never seen some of those, hmm...

I have yet to see Footloose. And Hubby's in it.

Aroo? Is he an extra? I luuuuuurve that movie and the soundtrack. Played that cassette forever, and finally got a cd.

Aroo? Is he an extra?

Yes, he's the man who's always asleep in church and in the town council meeting. He got paid extra for being able to fall asleep and stay asleep during all the commotion around him. The woman next to him is his first wife.

He's also apparently in one of the diner scenes in American Graffiti. All he remembers of George Lucas is the skinny kid with glasses with the high-pitched voice.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

You are a very nice sister, Aimee.

When it first came on cable, I think I watched it about a billion times. Same with Raiders.

information libertarian

I recently learned - well, re-learned, I knew it a long time ago and had forgotten - that a Classics professor I know is in Young Guns II. Apparently they needed someone who could speak latin and had a beard to be the priest in a burial scane, and he was teaching at Arizona State near where they were shooting. His character even has a name, but I can't find a clip on Youtube.

I'm going to have to watch Footloose and look for slumbering Connie hubby. And he was really asleep? That's hilarious.

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

I got my first TV because I couldn't bear the thought that there were random airings of Footloose that I was missing. I got my second TV in a flurry because my first TV broke and Colin was going to be on TV RIGHT NOW.

However, since then, it's been a sickness of upgrading.

Anyone here have an opinion on Contraband? I kinda want to, I kinda don't. Looking for the hair to tip the scale.
