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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I vaguely recall Joss saying that he believes that the movie you put in theaters is the director's cut, and that there wouldn't be an extended version (though the DVD will have scenes that were cut).

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

Yeah, I thought that rumor was already accepted to be bullshit.

My ticket for tomorrow morning is costing me $18.25.

Daaaamn, that's more than my IMAX ticket for tomorrow evening.

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

AND I HAVE A STUBS CARD.

So, no surcharge for online purchase. Just pure highway robbery, and I did not look at the price until days later, because what was I going to do? Not go?

I was like, $17.75 for IMAX? WITH fees? But...Inception was awesome in IMAX! And I never saw TDK in IMAX! So...let's splurge.

Javi doesn't seem to have liked it from what I caught of his vaguely spoilery post, but his issues seem to be similar to Jessica's, regarding morals and politics. I just want a good movie, man.

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

My ticket for tomorrow morning is costing me $18.25

Holy fuck. I'm so glad I don't pay for movies.

Still, if you can afford it, I highly recommend the IMAX. The IMAX-filmed scenes are fucking amazing. The opening sequence alone is something I'd pay to see again.

(In spite of the movie leaving me in an ethical quandary, I do really want to see it again, even if I have to pay for it. Which isn't something I felt about Avengers - as much fun as it was, there wasn't anything in there I felt like I needed to see over again so that I could fully process it.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

18.75 is the full price, though -- you're not getting the matinee price (16.75) even though it's 3:30 am.

Oh, right, THAT kind of morning. Some people call that night.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I highly recommend the IMAX

Oh, really? I probably won't see it 'til Tuesday, but now I'll consider the IMAX option.
