Barcelona is the Stillman film I loved dearly, and I enjoyed Metropolitan, but Last Days of Disco bored me to tears.
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

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 am the fly who dreams of the spider
For a bit there I was confusing Snow White and the Hunter with Mirror, Mirror. And I was thinking that Kristen Stewart shouldn't be mistreated because of an awful trilogy to the point of her name being avoided (and while I was still confused, I was trying to figure out why people loathed Charlize Theron).
But, yeah. I've had a problem with she-who-must-not-be-named-horse-face [cuz it's mean] on the basis of aesthetics alone. The acting looks dreadful in the trailers, too, on her part. I never got her. And when I saw Mary O'Reilly (or whatever that movie was with John Malkovich) I finally understood the horror of her face. I like her in certain roles, but the trailer for Mirror, Mirror makes me cringe

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I was just thinking that it might have been a commentary, Jesse. If so, the creators believe it...they had a nice little chemistry...it would be good to see her on there again.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Huh. I hadn't heard that about Gugino in Justified. Great! Instant headcanon it is!
I've actually liked J-Ro a lot in a few movies, mostly where she was meant to be hugely unsympathetic. I know there are a lot of people who hate it, but I freakin' adore My Best Friend's Wedding because her character is such a blind trainwreck. She's destructive and self-obsessed, but I thought the scene where she confesses her feelings (and have them blown up on her face) was just terrific. Not to mention the denouement, which dares to go counter to decades of "Platonic Girl/Boy BFF but Secretly Meant To Be" tradition.
Another one I adored was Duplicity. Roberts and Clive Owen were super fun together, and the script was witty and smart. I was quite sad that it did not do well in Box Office, because I wanted more movies like that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I liked Duplicity!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Is that Justified spoiler s2 or s3?
Vonnie, I am with you on MBFW. I felt for her and I loved the ending. "By god, there'll be dancing!"

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
How can you not love a movie with Rupert Everett leading a singalong to a Dionne Warwick song?

Because books.

I'm not a JR hater, but Rupert Everett was definitely the best part of that movie.

S3, but only a little.

Early S3. Sorry, my bad -- maybe I should have spoiler-fonted the whole thing.

My favourite bit is the employees doing the hand-wave-in-air thing with their lobster mitts during the chorus. Hee! Also, Susan Sullivan has not aged a day in 15 years since that movie to Castle.
