a melodramatic tween fan-ficcer.
There so needs to be a Shakespeare bio-pic done where that line gets thrown in.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
IMDB says yes, and only 7 years ago, but I swear I had never, ever heard a whisper of it.
Oh, right. That's the one set in Meiji era Japan, I think? I remember being intrigued because they race-bent Orlando (David Oyelowo played him) but the reviews were quite bad, if I recall and it never came to the big screen in my neighborhood.
My cross dressing Shakespeare of choice is Twelfth Night -- I have a good deal of fondness for the Trevor Nunn version but that was almost 20 years ago. I keep hoping someone would do another adaptation of it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I love Twelfth Night too, Vonnie.
The thing about the story is that it almost seems like it could have been written by a melodramatic tween fan-ficcer.
Yes. And every step of the plot hinges on someone making a stupid choice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tip to moviemakers: If you have Dolph Lundgren in a prominent role in your movie, nay, if he is in it all, 24 minutes in is way too late. Know your audience. Know the world! KNOW THE TRUTH.

...You're probably not talking about Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning?
I want to say you should see it, but there are major strobe effects pre-Dolph that seem likely to be terrible for your head. But holy shit that movie has some crazy action. I can look for timestamps so you can skip the strobes and enjoy the mayhem.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I think that's because the last act is more stupidity than tragedy.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Watched a missing scene from the Avengers with Loki and Clint talking about Fury and the team he was putting together. The scene counters my primary objection to the Avengers, ie, why the hell did Loki let himself get captured in Berlin? And it shows Clint's strategic brain in action. Always lovely to see bitsof Clint in action.
