Ooooh yes.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

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.

Well, he'll continue to make wonderful movies, me hopes. Just no more with double dildos.
DC looks so much younger in this movie. It has to be the longer hair. He looks less, well, craggy.

Perhaps there is a clue in there re: why she left her husband for Craig during filming of this movie.
Arnofsky's personality would have been sufficient cause from what I've heard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In addition to all of the things to like about Much Ado About Nothing already mentioned, we liked seeing all of the familiar names in the list of extras -- it really is friends and family, and it's fun to think that all of those (former) coworkers are really friends.
Man, Amy Acker was great, wasn't she? Also on a minor note, Sean Maher really looks like a man now -- I almost didn't recognize him at first.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just watched Scarface, and that's a quality gangster movie.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Watching "Midnight run" for the 10th time. We are watching MR because Beau got mad during Hot Coffee" and he said during the movie he wanted to go to the store, buy a gun, and shoot himself in the head. The movie he thought was a bit of a downer. I thought it was informative.
Anyway, I recommend HC, it is about political and corporate influence in the changing of tort laws in the US and how there are now limits on how much we can get in civil trials, how Karl Rove and friends have fucked with judge elections, and how some companies have forced arbitration.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Heat is a quality buddy cop movie. LOVE.
Wasn't it though? I admit I was expecting it to be funnier--but it didn't need to be. I think it managed the humour without making you dislike the characters (they kept some strengths throughout), and the crime that they had to investigate was properly personal, and the personal arcs for both the buddies satisfying.
And I found it extremely easy to empathise with them both. And, shit, I haven't liked a Wayan in a long time. Small role, but fond.
Can we have more girl+girl buddy movies? A couple more girl+boy ones?
