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.

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

Rick/Louis is perfection.

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

Um.

Paramount is giving Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer a 21st century makeover.

The storyline [of Huck] is being kept under wraps, but the project is described as a re-imagining in the vein of Snow White and the Huntsman, focusing on Sawyer and Finn as adults. There also are supernatural elements to the script.

Ha to the first comment, though:

If they make them aliens instead of mutants, I know a buttload of overzealous fanboys who will go apeshit.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

forget Ilsa; it's Rick/Louis all the way!

I love buffistas!

I was just hearing about all the Casablanca showings. I didn't realize it came out in 1942, so that was well before the war was over. Somehow that shifts my whole memory of the film.

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

Screw Ilsa.

I wish!

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

That's pretty much the perfect comment right now.

I didn't realize it came out in 1942, so that was well before the war was over.

It was made not long after Pearl Harbor, before the horrors of the war in Europe had really sunk in. Hence the line, "I bet they're asleep all over America".

My 2 disappointments about being in Spain right now are missing that Casablanca showing, and the Hunger Games premiere.

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

I am very interested to see The Raid: Redemption, even if it will require some squinting.
