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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I'm watching Totoro right now AIFG!
(It's raining, and this is Dylan's favorite movie. We've been watching it a LOT this month. Did you know that Mei has a white hat, and that Satski's daddy rides a normal bus? I have been reliably informed many times that both of these things are true.)

The final Harry Potter & the HBP trailer.
Some interesting inclusions (Malfoy and Harry's Sectumsempra fight) and additions (I like Dumbledore's line, "In my life, I have seen truly horrific things. I now know you will see worse.")

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The DVD I have out from Red Box has an early 2012 trailer that actually looks kinda cool... monks in Tibet sounding the bell of their mountaintop monastery as the giant tidal wave swells up over the Himalayas.
Of course, any impact or explosion that could throw the ocean that high, that far inland would probably have ruptured the crust entirely, and the ground shockwave would have wiped out everything long before the tsunami could get there...

Also true: there are bottles under their house, and their beds are different than ours. Or so I have been reliably informed here.

Matt, I have nothing but idle speculation and "I think I may have once heard a spurious rumor to this effect" to go on, but I think it won't be an impact that generates the bad stuff, but the whole Earth-flips-magnetic-poles-due-to-galactic-superalignment thing. That's how we get super-mega-ultra tsunami without super-mega-ultra hock waves.
Never mind that this likely would do nothing more than mess up all our compasses, until we compensated.
Also never mind that, in the most recent trailer, a wall of water that big squishing the White House with an aircraft carrier is beyond redundant. The wave would produce exactly the same effect on the White House even without the carrier.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, we'd lose the Earth's magnetic field for a while, leaving us vulnerable to cosmic rays or something.

Wouldn't that just give everyone superpowers?

Hey. New board.
Wouldn't that just give everyone superpowers?
Yep. And one particularly sick individual has the superpower of creating GIANT waves.
They have to save SOMETHING for later trailers, and that's mostly that it's a secret superhero movie for extra summer blockbuster gravy.

If everyone's special, then NO ONE is special.
