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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

None of you hates that song as much as I hate that song! That song is one of the demos available on cheap electronic keyboards, the only such that kids recognize, and therefore I have heard it tinnily reproduced, generally more than one at a time, off time from each other, at least six times EVERY DAY SINCE THE MOVIE CAME OUT.

Your hate is a mere pale simmering indifference next to the searing incandescence of my hate.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I don't mind the song - it was the fact that it was playing pretty much non-stop ALL. SUMMER. LONG. It was everywhere, played/sung by people of varying abilities with varying "stylings".

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hmm, now I'm sitting here thinking about that sentence. It should be singular hate, huh? None hate? Not one hates?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Not a one of you hates.

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

Celine Dion needs to meet the Gentlemen. Because she has a newish song I hate more than That Song(That song, that you'll think of when Kay tells you're 'just good friends'oh, sorry, wrong rant.)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Liese, I can't quite compete with yours, but my hatred of the song (beyond generally not liking the song itself) comes from my upstairs neighbor waking me up at 2am on a work night numerous times by playing that song full blast whenever he brought a girl home.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Just got back from Cabin in the Woods. It was so cool seeing the "Mutant Enemy Production" title during the opening credits!

Of course, being a longtime Mutant Enemy watcher, I figured out the underlying plot pretty much as soon as the eerily familiar chemist mentioned "Downstairs," but it was still mucho entertaining to see how it played out .

Was not fond of the last two seconds of film ( too literal and anthropomorphic, I'd have preferred tentacles or something even less comprehensible ), but the surprise guest shot a few minutes earlier buoyed me up pretty well.

Punishingly Intricate

I need to try to figure out, without spoiling myself somehow, if Cabin in the Woods will be too scary for me!

The trailers, IIRC, are a pretty good indicator of the kinds of shocks and starts it packs. There's some gore, but if you can handle watching The Walking Dead it shouldn't be too much for you.
