'Smile Time'
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.
Oh, nice! Last I had heard, Tony Shalhoub was up for the role, but I think this is an excellent choice.

I saw that. I do enjoy that they seem to be giving racists the middle finger in their casting, or maybe they just like the publicity (I honestly don't remember Beetee's description, so I don't know if his race was implied in anyway).
I don't think Beetee was described in any great detail. And yes, I love that they're diversifying the cast to a good degree.
All I can picture is crazy finger-in-light-socket hair, but I don't even know if that's from the book.
This means I can now hire Cary Elwes to perform scenes from The Princess Bride for my birthday for loose change and a slice of cake, right? [link]
As you wish.
That review alone was read-from-the-hall. I don't think I could ever sit through an actual showing without expiring of vicarious mortification.
I remember seeing the trailer in front of some movie not that long ago (ParaNorman, maybe?) and having H.R. Pufnstuf flashbacks. That plus the "jump up and sing!" interactive element convince me it would be like attending a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's. Or in Hell; same difference.
I have small children and that review was horrifying.
