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.

Some of the really low-end animation is done in-house using Adobe Flash, but virtually all of the animation has been done in Korea and Japan for at least the past 40 years.

So the stories are American, but the art is Asian?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, not entirely. Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra were animated in Korea, but the art and storyboarding and such is done stateside, I believe.

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

someone in my twitter feed loves "Magic Mike" because he sees it as a tale of how the optimism of youth gets corrupted by financial markets.

does this sound remotely plausible?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That's more or less the Slate Culture Gabfest's take on it as well.

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

I'd read that it was a conventional woman ... I dunno, pussy-shaming an outre guy into becoming sheeple.
