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.

Always Anti-fascist!

I actually did laugh at "Grownups", but I can't imagine anyone would think there were unattended plot threads or anything.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That happened in May, Matt.

Wait, they let her back out?

Yes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I tried to watch her in a movie with Luke from The OC and it was an in-universe and meta tranwreck.

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

I am trying desperately to ignore all her issues because What A Girl Wants is totally one of my junky-comfort-food movies (tame teen romance! pretty dresses! Pride and Prejudice in-jokes! Colin Firth barefoot in leather pants dancing in front of a mirror!), but meta distress over her current state will probably kill it for me.

Because books.

Yeah, catching The Amanda Show is distressing. I don't know what happened there.

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

Pacific Rim was super cheesy and lots of it didn't make sense but there were GIANT ROBOTS FIGHTING GIANT MONSTERS so that was fun.

I highly recommend seeing it in IMAX if possible because it makes everything SO BIG. You really get a sense of how frickin' huge these things are.

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

Interview with the the dude who wrote Sharknado (his first name is THUNDER, fer serious): [link]

How are the sharks cognizant enough to keep biting people while they're flying through the air?

If you were a shark and you found yourself flying through the air, wouldn’t you keep biting? I think you’d be pretty pissed about being plucked out of your nice familiar ocean where you’re king of the predators, and you’d probably take it out on whoever got in your way. Honestly, I don’t understand why people are so perplexed by this concept. The logic is undeniable.

How many sharks does an average sharknado contain? How many sharks are ejected per 5-minute period?

I can’t count that high.
