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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I dunno Teppy. Hearing you shout that might be worth getting kicked out of the theater for. But I'd want to see the movie too. Maybe modify an old Viking tradition. One showing the movie sober, another showing of the movie drunk.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

But I'd want to see the movie too.

Therein lies the problem. I think yelling at the screen will have to wait until the DVD comes out.

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

I think yelling at the screen will have to wait until the DVD comes out.

Not if you see a movie at Times Square. Do they still have movie theaters at Times Square? Seedy ones where people yell at the screen?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I finally saw Cabin in the Woods last night. I was afraid I had built it up too much in my mind and would be disappointed. But no, it was fabulous! I don't like horror movies, but I loved it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

There's the AMC Empire and the Regal E-Walk. They're both about averagely dirty, not enough to qualify as "seedy."

That era passed around the time the Disney store moved into the neighborhood.

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

Looks like the post-converted 3D actually looks pretty good, which is nice because the 3D showings are more convenient for me on opening night.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

We used to have what a friend always called the "interactive" movie theater - lots of commentary on the movie.

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.

Yeah, that's my fave too.

That moment is definitely one of the high points of the trailers.

Oh, and the Stark snark.

Yes. But that's kind of lost on a nearly 5 year-old. He's just starting to grasp non-physical humor. The awesome of Hulk saving Iron Man transcends language.

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

Porno Holocaust (1981)
Django, Prepare a Coffin (1968)
The Sexplorer (1975)
Hunchback of the Morgue (1973)
Hatchet for the Honeymoon (1970) (Frank knows this, I bet. Bava!)
The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave (1971)
Satanico Pandemonium (1975)
The ABC of Love and Sex Australian Style (1978)
The Naughty Stewardesses (1975)
Flavia the Heretic (1974) (a well known nunsploitation movie)

....and my favorite exploitation title....

:::drumroll:::

Your Vice Is a Locked Room And Only I Have the Key (1972)
