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.

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

Which would be character growth during the movie...which I actually believe he had. Greedy greedy man,

Man, the "I got that reference" made me spit, not least of all because it was about monkeys, and he had just been likening himself a monkey in the movie before.

Definitely my favorite Wes Anderson movie. His stuff just makes a whole lot more sense to me when it’s from the POV of children.

My assumption is that Tony was so blitzed during trips to the Middle East that he never learned what any of the food was actually called.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Tom--you saw Moonrise Kingdom? I'm dying to see it.

Scrappy, yes I did. Maybe my favorite movie this year.

Say, I've been reading some comics and some fic, and what's the deal with how sometimes Natasha is called Natalia?

Natalie was Natasha's cover name when she was Pepper's assistant in Iron Man 2.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My assumption is that Tony was so blitzed during trips to the Middle East that he never learned what any of the food was actually called.

That was my assumption, too. I mean, I didn't know what it was, but I'm not a cosmopolitan billionaire.

Cap (to Tony): "That's why you'll never makes the sacrifice play."

And who makes the sacrifice play at the end? Yeah. I believe he had it too.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I loved that. And, really, lots of the movie was about the characters, in the end, being willing to sacrifice, for the good of the team, for saving the world. A statement about what it takes to be a superhero (whether or not you're supposed to be a superhero), I guess, that there is a cost.
