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.
"There is no Dana, only Zuul!"
"Soon, the city will be mine and Vigo's... mainly Vigo's."
Oops, wrong one.
"If we're wrong, then nothing happens. We'll go to jail. Peacefully. Quietly. We'll enjoy it. But if we're right, and we can stop this thing? Lenny, you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters."
Also: "I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought."
Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"!
"Gozer the Gozerian? Good evening. By the authority vested in me by the City, County, and State of New York, you are hereby ordered to cease and desist all supernatural activity and return forthwith to the nearest convenient parallel dimension."

edit: forgot the forthwith
"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."
"That's a big Twinkie."
"Let's split up. We can do more damage that way."
Seriously - the pacing and everything still holds up. It's a little hard to watch after 9/11, but still brilliant.
Diane Lane is starring as Penny Chenery in a Disney produced film about Secretariat.
So yesterday morning, a package was delivered that I was Not Allowed to see. I'd have to wait for my birthday, said Pete. I mock-sulked, and then picked up the current issue of Rue Morgue Magazine to read while eating breakfast. This issue has a big article on the Ghostbusters video game.
"Hey, when does Ghostbusters come out on Blu-Ray?" I ask.
"It just did."
"Ooooh, can we get it?"
"No." (long pause) "We don't buy movies that suck."
"TAKE THAT BACK I LOVE GHOSTBUSTERS IT DOES NOT SUCK."
Pete sighs in exasperation, and stomps upstairs. He returns, tosses an Amazon.com package in my lap, and says "That WAS going to be for your birthday, young lady."
So, yeah. Now I own Ghostbusters!
