Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ok now y'all are making me like this idea. But only if Kevin Smith directs.

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

I announced the Affleck news to Hec and Emmett, and then all three of us stomped around imitating the angry old woman from The Princess Bride: BOOOOO! BOOOO! BATMAN OF GARBAGE!

Wait, does that mean we get Alanis Morissette as Catwoman and she makes Batman's head explode? Sign me up for that.

So I am in the theater for The World's End, wearing a Firefly t-shirt. I think I am suitably geeked out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I saw somewhere on the web that Katee sackoff might be considered for Harley Quinn.

I don't even know how I feel about Affleck is Batman. He might surprise us. Or, it might be funny.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Y'all I really liked "The World's End." I think for entertainment quality and overall story it is the weakest of the trilogy, but I had a REALLY great time. If you plan to see the movie soon, please avoid all trailers. I saw one trailer and it didn't register what was going on but Beau was spoiled for certain things.

So I went into the movie completely unspoiled and I was so surprised at a turn in the plot that I screamed out loud in the theater (with all the other people in the theater as well!). It is a gift that keeps on giving.

I don't think Pegg and Wright know how to do endings really well, and so I wasn't thrilled with the ending - but I wasn't crushed either. I just think it could have had more punch. This is a minor point because the movie was just a delight. I think it might be my favorite or tied for my favorite movie this summer. It certainly has the most original story of any movie I've seen this summer. I would like to see it again because the acting was really really good and there are little things that I picked up but would probably like to notice a bit more thoroughly a second run through.

There are no scenes after the credits, so don't bother if you are so inclined.

Two thumbs up!

Hey, Matt Damon could be Robin.

That could actually save it.

I'm now crossing my fingers that Batman has a minimal role in the movie. Oh well, at least Affleck's a better actor than Tyler Hoechlin (even if you couldn't prove it by Daredevil...).
