I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Dana Stevens often has weird, almost idiosyncratic tastes.

I agree with her more often than not, but yeah, there are quite a few times I went, "... I'm not sure if that's the same movie I saw." Not as often as I go there with Stephanie Zacharek, who could write beautifully about something I love in a way I found moving (I still have a copy of her review of "Holiday" saved in my hard drive at home) then half the time, would make me shout "you can just stand in your wrong corner and be wrong! In your wrongness!" She writes like a fangirl, in all the good and bad ways.

I enjoyed Thor and Captain America but didn't think they were OMG AMAZING. I was pretty fannish about Iron Man though -- read fanfic, downloaded the score, the whole nine yards. The sequel was rubbish though, and I'm hoping The Avengers would make me retroactively less annoyed with that movie.

I am g-chatting with a friend about the movie, reliving all the glory. You are all wishing you were me.

Well, aside from your general awesomeness and curly hair, actually I wish I was Scola at the moment.

Haha! Not much curls left right now. I'm sporting an extremely streamlined do these days. The daughter got a little carried away with the razor last time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am in the theater.

I've had bad insomnia this whole week. Which means currently I am more envious of people taking naps than Tom.

I'm going to see it on Sunday afternoon, I think. Hopefully I won't get too spoiled beforehand.

I might try to hit a first showing of the day on Saturday.

I forget--any word on if the 3-D version sucks or not?

I seem to remember hearing it wasn't a complete disaster in various reviews. I just find post-production 3-D as not doing very much for me and I'd rather not spend the extra money.
