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."

Lucas says The Empire Strikes Back is the worst of the six films

Okay, what are you talking about?

Really. WTF?

Beau and I always talk about how Phantom Menace could have been better when we see other movie/etc. For example, we have been rewatching the Avatar series and there are so many examples of how TPM could have been richer and more rewarding.

Not to mention Lagaan. That's a longass movie, but its themes were right in line with what could have been done with TPM.

I'm all riled up again over those fucking prequels. I thought I reached closure. I will never get over it.

No really. I've even heard a rumor that you are not allowed to mention Empire when you're working at Skywalker Ranch.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Empire--you mean the one that had human emotion and actual acting and directing and characters the audience could invest in and a storyline that didn't require tons of CGI? That Empire? Sure, the worst of the bunch. Yeah.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I have no investment in the Star Wars franchise and even I know the dude is off his rocker.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

None more charming.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Fellow THard fans, did you see the montage of his workouts? [link] Good gods, y'all.

Man, that almost makes me want to work out. I should lie down until the feeling passes.

Oh my God, that was hilarious. That guy's a hell of a sport.

Vanity Fair has a marvelous discussion of Diner and how revolutionary it was. Funny, the article is all about Diner as a bromance, but you know, women like it too. ::side-eye::

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Assorted Lucas/Empire related insanity

Yeah. I think I'm officially done giving two craps about anything he says or does at this point.

Then I tried to watch Phantom Menace with Dylan a couple of weeks ago (he asked to see a Star Wars movie he hadn't seen before). I thought there was no way it could be as bad as I remembered. Surely I had just built up an exaggerated and unfair caricature based on years of fannish mocking? It was probably just an average juvenile action movie, right?

I tried watching it a few years ago and after 30 minutes I ended up just fast-forwarding to the lightsaber fights.
