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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
man, that chud article points to how fucked up the process was to get the script right for Terminator. I can't even believe how screwed up the movie is knowing all of that background.
I now believe that the movie should have been written from the ground up by other screenwriters to have a more cogent story. It makes me wonder whether the tv show was going to go in this direction for John Connor as well.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
le nubian, I think they left the implication open for kicks, but I don't think they were actually going to do it.

I don't know if this is being discussed anywhere, but I just saw on Yahoo that Buffy the Vampire Slayer the Movie is being rebooted by Kazui Entertainment. Or at least that's the plan. There's no script or anything.

It's being discussed in both Jossverse and B&A, askye.

Also it's been mentioned in Natter.
Dismay among the Buffistas can't be overstated, I think.

I wasn't sure and I'm behind I haven't been online much this weekend.
I did see Star Trek this weekend and really really really enjoyed it. I was fine with some plot holes, I thought over all the cast, acting ,and special effects were all really good.

Apparently a fair number of James M. Cain fans thought the 1946 movie "The Postman Always Rings Twice" was awful and insufficiently faithful to his book. (Interesting in light of the fact that today it is considered a Noir classic.) At any rate an interviewer asked Cain if he thought the movie makers had ruined his novel. "Heck No" he said pointing a copy on his bookshelf, "Its right over there". That's the attitude I intend to take if this version of Buffy gets made. The new movie won't ruin it. The Buffy I love is still there on DVD and comic books and probably eventually SciFi reruns.
