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.

The friend of one of my former roommates once had JR thrown out of a university theatre. Apparently she pulled the "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?" hysterics while being escorted out.

I'm watching Sucker Punch.

This is hands down the biggest stinking crap-ass dog turd I have ever seen. What a complete and utter piece of shite. Screw you, Snyder. Your movies make me vile and loathsome for having watched them.

I'm like half an hour in, I no longer know what is actually happening in this movie, and I don't. effing. care. I mean, I understand that basically from about the fifteen minute mark the whole movie is just bullshit that's happening in her head, since she's already been lobotomized. WTF? I mean really WTF? Oh look, here comes some of the SUPER-COOL ACTION!!!

Nope, all of this stuff sucks ass too.

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

I liked Sucker Punch, but I was surprised at how boring the action scenes ended up being. They were KIND of awesome, but not nearly as awesome as they should have been.

Mostly, I wanted the movie to be about Sweet Pea and Rocket instead of Babydoll.

Really? I cannot find anything likable or redeeming about this movie. I mean, it's not like there's a plot to watch if you're not digging the action sequences. And what plot there is is meaningless because of the aforementioned event at the fifteen minute mark.

And who are Sweet Pea and Rocket? And who is Babydoll? I cannot tell the difference between any of the characters.

Ann, that's a ferret.

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.

I saw that one when it came out, and I really liked it. But it didn't hold up when I saw it again a few years ago. I realized that the bride is almost as bad a trainwreck, and the groom has an attitude of, "Yeah, I'm getting married, but that doesn't mean anything in my life is going to change."

The production number on "I Say a Little Prayer" is, of course, beyond brilliant. And Rupert Everett's turn as the crude boyfriend/fiance does hold up.

I was totally willing to go see it at the second-run theater for the crazy eye candy (I kind of love the posters for it, even if they're entirely nonsensical) -- until I read a review that mentioned the whole lobotomy thing. No thank you.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Tep is me, here. We're very pretty. And then, to say that's "empowering?" Bella Abzug should come back as a ghost and slap the piss out of them.

  • That's* a movie I'd pay full price for.
