Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

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!

Huh.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

While I am interested in the movie in the trailer, it does not feel like a "Star Trek" movie to me.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Hello, Tailor has analysis/speculation of the trailer and which TOS villain Cumberbatch is supposed to be playing: [link]

I've only watched a handful of the original Trek episodes so the only one familiar to me is Khan, but it's fun to see folks geeking out over the trailer already.

Yeah, that was how I felt. It looks so generic. I'm sure it'll be fun and exciting, though.

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

I am so sorry I ever doubted you, PJ. The Hobbit is completely fucking amazing. It almost makes me wish he'd done this one first so he could have had the liberty to make LotR with this amount of detail.* Nothing is left out, and a whole lot of stuff from the Silmarillion is crammed in. SO MUCH TOLKIEN NERD GOODNESS OMG.

And oh my Martin Freeman. I could eat him up with a spoon.

(The only thing I'm not 100% sold on is the HFR projection. In some scenes it's immersive and incredible and in others it just looks weird.)

OTOH, I just found out that by leaving the holiday party early to go to this screening, I missed being in a conga line with Matt Smith. WHY MUST LIFE BE SO UNFAIR.

*Which I realize would have meant 9 or 12 movies instead of three...and that would have been just fine.

Is it completely fucking amazing if you're not a Tolkien nerd?

Um...I wouldn't know? Possibly not.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Also, your diamond shoes are too tight and your wallet is too small to hold all these fifties!

Your squee has taken me straight from Meh, I'll wait until it shows up on Netflix to Now now now!
