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.

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

That's a really weird Nightwing costume, though. I thought she was Catwoman or something. I mean, it's cool; it just doesn't scream Nightwing to me. The Robin outfit is good, though, I agree.

I had to giggle when Blake enters the old batcave with Bruce's will ringing in my ears. The manor and grounds are deeded to the city with the understanding that they will never be sold or altered in any way.

It just made sense to me that the stipulations were to protect the underground lair .

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

Poor, Blake, he won't ever be able to upgrade the Batcave!

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

How could he even begin to afford it? There are so many reasons that model is unsustainable, I don't even know where to start.

My mind did bounce straight to "Winchester alternate revenue streams" which is just no good for anyone.

Who doesn't like gay porn, that is.

Maybe Bruce buried some treasure in there for him to find.

This was exactly my thought, too. But then, the entire fiscal stability/instability portion of the program seemed based on profits gleaned from handwavium mining all along .

We finally saw TDKR today. Slipped in right as the movie started, so no clue what previews there were. I also finally caught up in this thread, reading through the whitefont. I found myself nodding my head along with the majority of the comments.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

For those who have seen Batman Begins more recently than I have (or who have better memories) this probably won't be as cool, but someone edited together the scenes where Bruce Wayne and John Blake discover the Batcave and posted it on YouTube: [spoilery link]

The more I think about those being the same places (it's totally obvious now--I accept that), the less I like the end. It's irritating me.
