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.

"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

Hemsworth's everything is exactly the same. I know it's only been a little over a decade since he was in high school, but don't people usually change a bit between late teens and late twenties?

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

10 Things You’ll See in Almost Every Tim Burton Movie

I haven't looked yet, but at a guess:

1. Helena Bonham Carter
2. Johnny Depp
3. Something with b&w stripes or swirls
4. Spooky dead tree
5. Danny Elfman soundtrack
6. Waify girl (usually blonde)
7. Some sort of cameo for Sir Christopher Lee
8. Something circus-themed
9. Costumes by Colleen Atwood (which I would use in everything, too!)
10. Some sort of scene that implies the wonder/innocence of childhood.

Now I'll go read the article and see how close I was.

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

And they seemed to be picking a disproportionate number of adaptations rather than original screenplays. It's not like Tim Burton invented Augustus Gloop.

Yeah, it was weird to see the Batman movies in there, as if they "fit" his "mold." Um, no, Alfred was always Alfred. I suppose it's interesting to note that even his adaptations manage to include his tropes.
