Buffistas

To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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.

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

I just looked at the Rotten Tomatoes ratings for all Pixar movies, for kicks.

Toy Story - 100%
A Bug's Life - 91%
Toy Story 2 - 100%
Monsters, Inc. - 95%
Finding Nemo - 98%
The Incredibles - 97%
Cars - 75%
Ratatouille - 96%
WALL-E - 96%
Up - 96% (so far)

Has any studio ever had this good a track record of producing quality films?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) - 100%
Pinocchio (1940) - 100%
Fantasia (1940) - 98%
Dumbo (1941) - 97%
Bambi (1942) - 89%

Unfortunately, Disney studio couldn't continue its streak because of WWII, plus it was hampered because Fantasia was kind of a box-office bomb.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

because Fantasia was kind of a box-office bomb.

That's their fault for releasing it before LSD was invented.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Eh, 8-year-olds will rate *anything* 100%....

Always Anti-fascist!

I think it's true, though.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

I saw the imdb page about that new Bad Lieutenant film the other day. I thought it might've been good. Then I watched that trailer.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I can't think of a movie I'd rate 100%

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

The Princess Bride and The Muppet Movie for me.

Ooh, and Lilo & Stitch.

Well, it may be entertaining, at least. I'd rather have Nicolas Cage going OTT than have him play restrained, and he certainly looks to be going OTT under Werner's direction.

Still - a bad idea. Too bad Abel seems to have burned any bridges he had at this point. He can't get a movie released straight to DVD in this country, it seems.
