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.
Whatever makeup they're using on Johnny Depp for Dark Shadows, I want it. That's a gorgeous finish.
The trailer for Abe Lincoln, Vampire Hunter: [link]
Okay, here's a problem with reading a history book like I've done recently. There is a shot in the trailer of the Washington Monument and it is completed, looks like it does today. But the book I just read about Garfield's assassination let me know that construction on the monument wasn't completed until after Garfield's short presidency, that is well after Lincoln's. Of course, maybe in this movie Abe survives his assassination? or something.
The movie looks pretty fun other than that!
I'm watching Blitz for the Statham, and am quite bored.
However, this Luke Evans dude is quite hot. He's like a manly Orlando Bloom.
Was this a non-American film? My god, it's like they weren't even trying. Hot Fuzz had more integrity. And Jason doesn't take his shirt off. The hell kind of movie is this?
I now must definitely see Safe House. For Ryan's tears (the only redeeming quality of Smokin' Aces). Also, Denzel looks magnetizing in the trailer.
What do you mean by Hot Fuzz and integrity?
The shirt thing makes no sense, though. Maybe you missed a bit?
I might have missed some shirtlessness, my attention wasn't appropriately engaged.
As for the integrity, it just felt like a lot of posturing and badass walks to baddass music without any meat, that I think, for all it's mockery and love, Hot Fuzz managed more true emotion, even with all it's deliberate silliness. Honestly, for all it's serious and graphic subject matter, I snickered more during Blitz than Hot Fuzz.
I've never thought of Hot Fuzz and integrity in the same sentence, no offense to the movie intended. It seemed neither here nor there.
Flipped on the TV, and The Princess Bride was on. You know how the compulsion goes--own it, know it by memory, but nothing stronger than finding someone else has decided to air it.
They're in the fire swamp right now, and I couldn't think what to quote if I wanted to, because I couldn't think of what not to quote.
I couldn't think what to quote if I wanted to, because I couldn't think of what not to quote.
And that's Princess Bride in one.
I just bought Labyrinth for $5. I might watch it tomorrow night. Unless I have another movie that more appeals to the romantic masochist in me.

That's kind of what I meant by comparing Blitz to it.
No, not in the sense that it has none. Just in the sense that...okay, I can't explain. It strikes me as perfectly integrally intact, if push comes to shove.
