Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

What was happening to the

So, I have no fucking idea. I heard from one podcast that it was splitting him open like the progenitor in the opening sequence of the film. Somehow equating that drop of whatever the fuck with the substance that disintegrated the pale man.

I simply thought that archaeologist dude was transforming like the geologist. The "weapon" was forming into a new thing that was going to burst from him sooner or later. Since it was earlier in its life cycle (compared to the geologist or the octopus in Dr. Shaw that passed through her lover first), it was taking a bit to become something new.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Oh, and David was random. Talk about an inconsistent characterization. Wild.

Oh, and technology that can "read" our dreams is pretty fucking awesome. Makes me think this kind of thing should have been incorporated better into the movie somehow. I mean, there should be equipment to communicate our thoughts from deep underground or something, yes?

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

What was even the point of the technology that could read your dreams? I don't feel that went anywhere. That we learnt anything by seeing them, or by seeing him see them.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think it was simply for character notes for David. Because there was no other purpose. Might I add, I think it is funny that this ship is so much more sophisticated than the ones in the Alien universe thus far. It makes me laugh.

Someone came up with an SMS conversation between Dr Shaw and an Engineer, presumably while she's in flight to the homeworld. Needless to say, MASSIVE SPOILERS

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

Oh, hee. "All will be revealed in James Cameron's PROMETHEUSES."

I feel so much better about wasting two hours of my life now that I've read that.

right? between that and "Mad Men", I feel it is all right in the world.

Dammit, I just had some Matt Bomer animated GIFs from Magic Mike, and I don't know where they are anymore...

Looks like Channing's not playing the Magical Mike--that's Pettyfer's character. But, still, I think it's a rental for me.
