You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

Okay--I get what was confusing the shit out of me with Looper. Two things: 1. you can't affect your own past. So even if you do something that means old Joe never goes back, or whatever, your past won't change. And, secondly, the timeline works both singly (young Joe scars old Joe's arm) and multiply (old Joe sits down for breakfast with young Joe as a result of the scar) at the same time. I most definitely do not get why it takes suicide to wrench the future away from killing Cid--surely the realisations young Joe has along the way, getting clean early, bonding with Sara and Cid--don't those change that precise future Joe enough that a) he might not meet the Chinese woman who doesn't rate a voice or a name and she certainly doesn't need to clean him up from the lamest DTs ever and b) plain has had enough epiphany he won't kill the kid he likes (even if he hasn't quite grown enough to not kill a kid he doesn't know)

And then there are the non-time travel WTFs, but whatevs.

The concept of this vid (and accompanying story) is really pretty cool: [link]

Basically: every character Jeremy Renner has played in the last ten or so years is actually Clint Barton undercover.

Thanks for that, BTW, Tom. I'll see if I can work out how to do that in Elements.

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

this fake "Hungry Hungry Hippos" trailer has made my day.

Oh my God, they're actually making that movie now? The article says it's supposed to be an animated feature, but the fake trailer seems much more likely.

Given the number of people hippos actually kill, it might not tap into the same primal fear as Jaws or Lake Placid, bit...it is a thing.

Why you need the game's name, tho, is a question. Will that really help sell more tickets?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

True, though not because they're hungry hungry hippos.

Why is it I feel certain that interest in the movie rights was generated by everyone namechecking the game while mocking Battleship?

I'm not too proud to say I enjoyed Battleship. But I just adore the trope of bringing in something considered obsolete to save the day. I got all sorts of mad tingles of delight as they put the Missouri back into action.
