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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Talking about how they'll handle things in the Hunger Games - for the dress, makeup, etc., wouldn't it work if we saw Katniss after her makeover from the outside, looking nice and then, she looks in a mirror, and we see it from her POV - overdone and not at all her. Then for the violence, have a kick-ass action scene and then, from Katniss's viewpoint, see the horror of children killing each other.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

There's a scene early in the run of BtVS that indicates that Joss was a fan of The Long Good Friday.

I'm totally spacing on what that might be.

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

The Dark Knight Rises/The Prestige mash-up trailer. Very cool and clever.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm totally spacing on what that might be.

The scene in Long Good Friday where everybody is strung up by their ankles in a meat locker? BtVS does that - I think it's even in the opening credits one season. I can't remember the episode.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

P-C,

I just tweeted that. I saw it on io9.

The youtuber who did that has serious skills - narratively and visually.

Yeah, my dad suffered macular deterioration before he died. It was very depressing for him, as he was already having trouble getting around walking and he couldn't play golf with his buddies, or watch TV even.

My mother's macular degeneration reached the point where she couldn't get her driver's license renewed and has continued to get worse. She can read, a little, with the help of a machine that enlarges everything, but it's a hassle.
