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.
Ooh, Beverly, I'm so glad you posted that, because I hadn't clicked on the Buffy one, thinking I had seen it -- but no! I saw the Firefly one! Good times.
Shoot day 266 and the end of principal photography on The Hobbit
This is making a wibble in my tummy.
Did they shoot two films at once, like they planned to?
I haven't read anything that said he didn't. Everything seems to be in line with the initial announcement.
The reports I've seen are that both movies were being filmed (and are now done)
I like that Buffy-credits edit better than the Firefly one. I might be maxed out on Firefly nostalgia.

I agree. I think that style is a better fit. The Firefly one is too much of a tonal shift for me.
Fun fact - Steve Blum, aka Amon from The Legend of Korra, voices one of the main characters. Anjelica Huston voices another.
Every time I hear Steve Blum's voice I think of Spike Spiegel (though obviously he's voiced a ton more characters and did a great job with Amon.)
I mostly liked the movie, except for the way it felt like it started in the middle of another movie. Like when the opening credits rolled (and I understand the purpose of the opening credits in this movie, let me just say that preemptively), I had missed an hour of the movie already. Weird.
What's weird is that BOTH Hulk movies decided to start the narrative during the opening credits.
I'm assuming Liv Tyler was cast for her ability to whisper "Bruce" with tears in her eyes, because THAT'S ALL SHE DID.
She said it SEVEN TIMES, with a bonus four times without the question mark.
Also, in Avengers, Bruce said he "broke Harlem," but I gotta say -- NSM his fault.
Seriously. I'd say less than 25% of it was his fault.
As an action movie, it was pretty fun. As a Hulk movie? There really wasn't anything there at all. At least Hulk had an actual plot with characters in it.
(This one did, however, have random cameos by Martin Starr and Michael K. Williams.)
Conclusion: Whedon/Ruffalo Hulk FTW.
