Also, I loved that 2012 trailer. Awesomely ridiculous with Chiwetal Ejiofor and John Cusack and Danny Glover! Plus, explosions.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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.

2012 Trailer Spoiler (yes, you really have to see it for yourself first):
The part where I really start laughing is where an aircraft carrier! is swept up by a tidal wave! and lands on the White House!
The only thing it's missing is a dog scampering to safety just before it lands....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Nice interview with Stephen J. Cannell, who has film projects of The A-Team, 21 Jump Street, The Rockford Files, and The Greatest American Hero. He's also working on his fifteenth novel, you know, in his spare time.

I read an early book of his, King Con, which was an excellent con-artist book (I'm a big fan of that subgenre--Sidney Sheldon's If Tomorrow Comes was also good).

Always Anti-fascist!
He is one of my heroes, and one of the reasons is that he is so dyslexic that he pays someone to translate his phonetic spellings and stuff into standard English, and yet? Still managed to do all that stuff.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The part where I really start laughing is ...
The icing on the cake of that shot is the zoom in on the name of the aircraft carrier .

Emmerich is also the director who has his heroes outrunning killer frost in The Day After Tomorrow, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he just gives up and throws in the kitchen sink (or random international landmark) for this movie.

“Not dead yet!”
I just went and saw The Proposal. Predictable, but still cute and Ryan Reynolds is just my perfect kind of beta hero.

BREAKING: Oscar’s Best Picture Nominees Will Expand to Ten.
“After more than six decades, the Academy is returning to some of its earlier roots, when a wider field competed for the top award of the year,” said Ganis. “The final outcome, of course, will be the same – one Best Picture winner – but the race to the finish line will feature 10, not just five, great movies from 2009.”
The move is an obvious response to the recent discussion concerning The Dark Knight’s absence from the nominees for more art house style films such as The Reader and I would expect we can now look at Up as a serious contender for a Best Picture nominee when previous Pixar favorites Ratatouille and WALL-E were left in the cold.
