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

The Twilight argument is specious, to be sure. But I'm wondering why the reviewer was wearing a bullet proof vest?

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

Because he's wrong!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, The Wolf of Wall Street is just upscale Boiler Room, right?

But with wolves!

Don't tell me different. I like my dreams.

Wolves, maybe, but no Vin Diesel.

Jesse,

I thought it was Wall Street for 2013.

Was Wall Street about criminals? I forget.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Was Wall Street about criminals?

Depends on how you feel about high finance.

I meant criminals in the "the climax of the movie is all the bosses getting arrested" sense.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I thought the movie ended with Gordon Gekko arrested for insider trading. That's a crime regardless of how one feels about high finance.
