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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Not all of the leads were Irish, but the main character of The Crying Game was. And I could understand everyone in that movie.

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

Katniss' dress before the thing happens that happens to the dress when she's at the place she goes to with the people before the other thing.

If that sentence makes no sense to you, the contents may be a spoiler, or I may be generating gibberish. Either way.

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

I haven't read the books so I assume the thing that happens is that she and the dress go to a nice tea party where nobody dies horribly at all.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Huh. That is not what I imagined. But I don't know how the book specifically described it.

Because books.

I actually knew exactly what ita meant. Yay?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Heh, me too. I'm excited to see what it looks like after the thing happens.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

But they have to wait a bit for scones. Hence the hunger.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

I just listened to the first book again and my main reaction to the dresses this time around was how it would be impossible to actually do them (especially the second one) as described and have them work, so I'm sort of happy with anything they come up with that makes an impact.

Scones. Scones and euchre. That's the focus of the plotline.

I hadn't thought about the concept of the before of the dress, but I like the approach they're taking. It all depends on the during and the after, though. But I think the before is solid so far.
