If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

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.

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.

I was actually looking forward to the new G.I. Joe (why did my autocorrect not recognize G.I. ? It kept changing it to B.C.) because it looks like they were actually trying to do right by the fans of the original show (the costumes and vehicles look great) but I'm not crying with outrage about it getting pushed back.

I do agree that 9 months to 3D-ify it sounds like a cover for other problems, though.

And another site pointed out that pushing it back this close to release completely screws over the merchandising, as apparently the tie-in toys are already showing up in stores.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yeah, but a 3D pile of shit is going to look more impressive than a 2D pile of shit.

Especially when it comes flying right out of the screen at you.

G.I. Joe - now with 50% more monkeys!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

ita !, so Haywire is worth the viewing? Dan and I have been thinking about seeing it, because it looked pretty decent in trailers.

Good fight/action sequences?

Also, Red 2?! SQUEEEEEE!!!!!! I'm sure it's not new to some peeps, but D just told me there would be a sequel; I looooved Red. So much. So much...

The fights in Haywire are great, IMO. Gina Carano is an MMA star, after all. The story itself isn't brilliant but i really enjoyed the movie.

Spend 45 years watching people shaped like you get rescued by action heroes, and you'll be pretty damn grateful for Gina Carano...

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

They're making RED 2? That is fabulous news.

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

Gina Carano's not a good actress, but luckily she shares space with Channing Tatum.

Uh?

Basically, if I want to see a recent female kicking ass movie, I'd pick up Hanna before Haywire. But it's worth seeing so you know. Her fight scenes are damned solid. It's the bits inbetween that...enh.
