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.
Normally that's said about A Midsummer Night's Dream.
She'll be here all night. Tip your waiters, folks...
Much Ado is a good gateway drug. I approve (though not of Keanu's performance, bless his little heart).
Emile Hirsch to star as Hamlet, directed by Twilight's Catherine Hardwicke.
I got all excited for a moment until I remembered Hardwicke seemed to have lost her mojo a couple pictures ago. I hope she gets it back with this one.
So about Much Ado...
Don John's whole purpose in the play is to just be a dick?
Holy crap!
How awful.
That's so sad.
This is the first I've heard about the plot of Avatar: [link]
John Landau, the film's producer, revealed that the plot of the movie is about a paraplegic ex-marine played by Sam Worthington who, though a series of circumstances, is brought to an alien world where people mine for a rare mineral via proxy bodies called Avatars. Avatars are genetically engineered bodies capable of surviving the planet's environment that are controlled through remote mental control. The protagonist, however, winds up caught between the natives of the planet, whose home is being destroyed by the planet's strip-mining, and the Resource Development Administration of Earth, which happens to be controlling the mining operations.
I was not particularly impressed by Sam Worthington in Terminator.
