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.

Ack. I wonder if I have to stay off FB tomorrow. I don't trust any place not here to care about spoilers.
Now I'm trying to calculate the odds of anyone on my FB friends list going to see it tonight. Probably low, but I dunno.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I feel like I have to stay off the internet until Tuesday!

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

I'll just have DH check the board and read it back to me until we cross the border into Very Expensive Data Roaming Land.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of Batman, does anyone think it will be record-setting? Beyond maybe the open? I saw something asking that question, and I think the answer is "of course not, not in the summer of The Avengers." Others?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think it will open big, but will it beat Avengers? I am not sure. I haven't expected it to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I agree that it won't break any records. It might have, without the Avengers, but I suspect somehow it might perform even more poorly than it would have without it--people who don't give a fuck about comics or much of a fuck about action already had their big movie, and if they had the choice between cheerful and gritty, they already went with cheerful, so why second guess?

Oh, and by poorly I do not mean that in any normal sense of the word.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I would be really really surprised if TDKR beat out The Avengers. I've seen Avengers 3 times in the theater, and if they release an extended version, I'll see it again. Whereas all the advertising for TDKR makes me want to hide under my desk: it looks stressful and depressing.
As ita says, in the choice between cheerful and gritty, I'll take cheerful.
(Which makes no sense, because my writing choices are all about the gritty over cheerful, but what I choose to write versus what I choose to experience is very different.)
