However, I do think the linearity fit the subject matter, though I can't articulate beyond "it felt right."
I agree. It was a spaghetti Western, so it worked.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

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!

I didn't realize there was an animated movie version of The Rabbi's Cat coming out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gah. People are really hitting spoilers for the end of the Hobbit hard on tumblr right now, and major sadface. Like, I know one song by Ke&ha, and it's Die Young so naturally it's accompanied by pictures of FIli and Kili.
PJ is giving me months and months to not have to dwell on that. Why are they forcing me to click the play button?

Oscar noms are out: [link]
Nothing too surprising among the lot. I guess they decided to champion Beasts of the Southern Wild over Moonrise Kingdom as the token indie.

I did think it was surprising that Zero Dark Thirty got nominated for Picture, for Screenplay, for Editing, and for Actress--but not for Directing. Gee, I wonder why.

A Royal Affair is playing at the local theater out here this weekend. Is it worth seeing?

Hey. New board.

Really? EW seemed to think Bigelow was a lock for that nom. I haven't seen it, but it seems like the kind of movie that would be.

Hey. New board.
Cereal to add that Argo also didn't get a directing nod, which I find surprising. That's a movie that I really loved that I think hinged almost entirely on direction.
