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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

So, I would swear I haven't skipped in here for a VERY long time, but I don't remember seeing any discussion - did anyone see The Raven? It hit the cheap theater here superfast, and I'm wondering if that's a harbinger of quality (or lack thereof). We're still planning on seeing it ($3.50 matinee is tough to beat), but I wouldn't mind a little forewarned/forearmed.

Also, because though it's been mentioned, I feel it's important. There wasn't near enough Hawkeye time!

On the other end of the Avenger's review spectrum I saw at least one review that said Natasha was the real hero of the Avengers movie, with Banner a close 2nd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just randomly turned the TV on to Hanna, and how come Saoirse Ronan has better fight scenes than Scarlett Johansson?

That was such a badass movie. Now I want to watch it again.

I changed onto that station right at the start of the fight on the docks. Fucking gorgeous shit. I need to put it on my shopping list. Broken adolescent assassins are the bomb.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I saw The Raven. It was...um. Yeah.

I am planning on seeing The Raven at one of the cheap theatres. Because I am that kind of Goth. Dana, is it worth it for eye-candy, at least? Will the costumes and set design make me clap my hands?

Hmm. I don't know, as it's not really the kind of thing I notice. I don't remember anything standing out to me. The guy who isn't Cusack is cute, though.

I'm not saying I personally feel this way about Hawkeye: [link] just...it's persuasive, you know?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Pretty glaring omission in there regarding the super skillsets on offer in the Avengers, I'd say.
